viewing galaxies and nebulae

hi there sorry if this sounds like a dumb question.
i'm interested is viewwing some galaxies etc as i have never seen one before with my naked eye. there are however a few questions i do have.
1: i see many beautiful pictures of galaxies both here and other places and am curious, are all colour images of galaxies done with imaging programs can you actually see colour with the naked eye?
2: do you need a special long exposure camera to take an image of a galaxy?
3: do you need to be very far from the city to even bother trying, or can it be achieved in outer surburbia
any info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Derivious
