The Unguidebook Sydney

Come along on a visual storytelling journey to one of the world’s most beautiful cities and find out what it’s really like even before you book your ticket.


The Unguidebook Sydney is the second volume in the travel book series, The Unguidebooks. The authors put a unique stamp on their personal reflections by giving a modern twist to the well-known phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Each of the 47 enlightening and entertaining impressions features an original photograph and a story that’s exactly 1,000 characters long.


The iconic Opera House is a marvelous place to start, but there’s so much more to Sydney that that. Explore the seemingly endless waterfront to discover Sydney’s maritime roots and love of anything that floats. Plunge into one of the city’s idyllic bays, coves or nearby seawater pools. Take a stroll along the vibrant Circular Quay and central business district or an easy day hike overlooking the sapphire waters of the Pacific Ocean just minutes from downtown. Sydney offers an adventure and cultural experience for everyone.


Whether you plan to visit this corner of the world or simply experience it vicariously, The Unguidebook Sydney does what few books do and gives you a real sense of place.
