Why this prompt works

A compact template for travel content: a street map lies on a surface and a photorealistic miniature of the same city grows out of it, with landmarks, a natural feature, everyday street life and the city's signature transport. We filled it for Prague on a worn wooden desk: the castle and cathedral sit on the hill, a statue-lined stone bridge spans the river with tour boats, red trams run through the old town, and a clock tower rises near café tables and street musicians. The map's 'PRAHA' label anchors it. The geography is artistically rearranged, so it suits travel blogs and tourism posters rather than navigation. Swap in any city and its top landmarks.

How to adapt it

Variable	What it changes	Examples
[CITY_NAME]	the city	Prague, Kyoto, Lisbon
[LANDMARK_1–3]	three signature sights	a stone bridge lined with statues, a hilltop castle complex, an old-town clock tower
[ICONIC_TRANSPORT] / [URBAN_LIFE_ELEMENT] / EXTRA_DETAIL	street life	red trams / street cafés / street musicians
{MAP_SURFACE}	what the map lies on	worn wooden desk, café table

Tips

Describe landmarks generically (as we did) or by name; names give better accuracy for famous cities.
Expect artistic placement; don't use the result as a real map.
2:3 portrait gives room for the map edge and props in the foreground.
