Long story short...

CityPics is a web community for people to share, upload, publish, rate and discuss pictures and photos of all various cities and towns in the world.

...short story long

The idea behind CityPics is to provide a platform for everyone in the web community to share photos of his own town, city or village from all over the world (from Arnoldstein over Melbourne to Zurich).

The huge difference to other photo sites is, CityPics does not seek to present just the highlights in the most beautiful way but actually to show each city in its everday's life. When you browse through CityPics' archive you shall not find typical tourist pictures or usual shots from travel agencies, but impressions from people actually living there. CityPics' intention is to let you feel and experience how it is to live in a particular region.

Even if CityPics might not improve global understanding and communication, it might help you to choose your next holiday destination ;-).
