This work investigates the perception of urban space and practices of "dwelling" it. Mechanisms that city-dwellers and tourists use to explore the city and emotional states involved in the process are at the centre of our attention. The task of the current work is to "close up" the city and to examine it on the level of everyday practices, trying to figure out what unites its citizens. Routes and practices create the city we know in our minds. A case of "dwelling in motion" is used the practical part of this work.
