Tokyo is a city that evolves with breathtaking pace, thanks largely to a local obsession with renewal and innovation. Spectacular restaurants and bars, with designs from Tokyo's young hotshots, are opening across the city, and the luxury hotel scene is buzzing, with a Mandarin Oriental, Conrad, Ritz Carlton and Peninsula all joining the fray. The wildly popular lifestyle complex Roppongi Hills has new rivals in the form of Ando Tadao's Omotesando Hills and the Midtown Project. Yet in the midst of this consumer frenzy, the traditional Tokyo is also enjoying a renaissance. Zen practices are making a comeback and traditional Japanese design is now all the rage. With foreign interest in Japan showing no signs of waning, Time Out Tokyo is the most reliable commentator on its dazzlingly fast paced, ever-changing capital. *Sightseeing in Tokyo *Tokyo hotels *Tokyo restaurants *Tokyo bars *Tokyo shops *Tokyo maps

Changes are afoot in the Catalan capital, with the palpable surge of national pride as the region is granted more independence giving a boost to every aspect of Barcelona life. As arts agendas are given a fillip and ever more grander architectural schemes are dreamt up to keep pace with Jean Nouvel's, Richard Rogers' and Enric Miralles' recent contributions to the skyline, the city has also seen a return to its roots, with old traditions brushed off and ancient festivals given renewed vigour. The tenth annual "Time Out Barcelona" looks at the changes and remains the ultimate reference for all the essentials: where to stay, where to eat, where to shop and what to see.
The number one guide to one of the world's favourite cities: without downplaying tradition - all major sights, museums and monuments are covered in-depth - "Time Out Paris" takes detours into the hip and madly popular world of comic strips, free entertainment, open-air dancehalls and the influx of cutting-edge fashion brands on the city's most staunchly haute couture avenue. Paris pulls off the enviable double act of being resolutely in step with the modern world - mushrooming public WiFi coverage, excellent public transport system, major architectural projects in the pipeline - and as seductively romantic and gloriously historic as ever: the flagstones the guillotine once stood on are still in situ, the palace of kings that houses the world's largest museum, the Louvre, is still a marvel to behold. "Time Out Paris" goes back to the city's roots and monitors its new shoots - the plans to cut traffic in the centre by 75 per cent, the new 'boat Metro' service along the Seine, and new developments in every sphere of its world-leading fashion, arts and culinary scenes.
Buenos Aires, the cultural highlight on many trips to South America, is changing like never before. Every week new boutique hotels, restaurants, secret bars, art galleries and designer shops open in a blur of champagne and cocktails.

Visitors to this city can participate in every aspect of Buenos Aires. It is a thrilling place, full of the unexpected, and occasionally bewildering. And over the last eight years, "Time Out Buenos Aires" has become a favourite for visitors looking for the most up-to-date information, the latest cultural trends and insightful investigations written by journalists who live this city everyday.

Sydney is no longer a colonial backwater, but a chosen destination to discover some of the world's leading restaurants and signature chefs, innovative young fashion designers and ground-breaking gay performance nightclubs.
Forget New York City: Las Vegas truly is the city that never sleeps. Recently ranked as one of the ten most dynamic cities on earth by Newsweek, the most extreme, absurd and outrageous destination in the US draws more than 37 million visitors a year, and not all of them are gamblers: some come for weddings, others for conventions, still others for family breaks and many more for weekend-long parties. The city's famous hotel-casino resorts continue to get grande, with new restaurants boosting the town's reputation as a gastronome's delight, high-budget shows wowing sell-out crowds, and buzzing nightclubs catering to millions of visiting hedonists.

Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates is an extraordinary mixture of ancient Arabic culture and modern Western capitalism. The most opulent hotels in the world fight for attention with open tracts of desert that stretch, uninhabited, to the horizon. Hundreds of kilometres of sandy beaches, which run into the warm and clear waters of the Arabian Gulf, are only interrupted by desalination plants that create enough fresh water to keep acres of Dubai public gardens in luscious bloom. No expense has been spared to make Dubai a five-star paradise for up-market tourists looking for great food and drink, extraordinary duty free shopping, and all-year round sunshine. Discover sunken wrecks that attract divers from around the world; nightclubs hosting Europe and Asia's hottest DJs; desert driving in death defying conditions; restaurants run by globally renowned chefs; and shopping trips that mix bazaars full of ancient Iranian spices with tax free-priced suits from Armani and Versace.
