Sydney has always been considered Australia’s biggest tourist destination. With high profile attractions like the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and beaches like Bondi and Manly the city has really only ever attracted the typical touristy traveller. Cities like Melbourne have owned the of fashion capital title, attracting the more discerning types looking for something a bit less commercial.
However, at RoomCritic we’re feeling the wave of change washing over the harbour city. From the new small bar phenomenon to an influx of hipster café’s and awesome new restaurants, Sydney is changing, it’s actually becoming cooler.

Very exciting news that Wallpaper*, one of our favorite city guides, has expanded their selection of apps to 60 destinations, from the initial 10.
The handy, lightweight books have always been one of our travel essentials, with their tightly edited selection of hotels, landmarks, architcture, shopping and urban life. Having the most up-to-date information available on my iPhone while I am in a new city is even more useful. Version 2.0 of the guides offers a new design which is iPad friendly, allowing us to enjoy the app in our hotel room to plan the next day’s activities.
Of course, we will continue to buy the book version of the guides to add to our travel bookshelf. Thumbing through these has become part of the enjoyment of planning and anticipating an upcoming trip.
