From dsphotographic.com:
Every notable landmark seems to have one thing in common: visitors, and lots of them. But if you want that postcard shot or that image that shows how the location may have once appeared, you have a challenge ahead of you. This digital photography and PhotoShop tutorial will provide a means to remove the tourist throngs from your vacation images.
Basically, the technique works like "clone" pictures: take multiple images of the same area, then combine them. The difference is that this time, you're removing people. Cover up tourists using masks and the brush tool, combine the layers, and voila! Your very own postcard shot.

The "click here" tutorial link is to the static picture by l&coolj. Just need to click the "dsphotographic.com" link before the quote.

If you're a purist, very long exposures will often do the same thing -- anything moving turns invisible.
