First, find out what frequencies your digital TV stations are one. Many areas have only UHF broadcasts (14-69), which uses a different antenna type than VHF (2-13). Also, if all your stations are broadcast from one location, a highly directional antenna (like the Silver Sensor) will work well. For me, the Radio Shack Double Bowtie UHF antenna worked much better than any other I tried (it's available in their catalog, but not in stores without a special order. It's less than $20).
Even in a city/apartment, some outdoor antennas may be usable. In an apartment I lived in, I used the ChannelMaster 4228 on my balcony. It's a 4 bay bowtie antenna, and it's very flat, so I just tacked it to the wall. The "squareshooter" may also fall into this category. But, in a city center with big buildings, there are a lot of variables. Dead spots or multipath from surrounding buildings can be challenging. I would first try a few cheap indoor antennas from stores with good return policies, hopefully you'll be able to get a bunch of channels easily since your so close to the transmissions.
