Deira Clocktower

I absolutley love this crazy bit of artwork with the tiny clock stuck in it, like a giant spider decided to wander by and hold a clock for all to see. Magnificent.

Just off the El Maktoum Bridge

Torre dell'Oroglio

posted by croadman on 12 May 2011 at 09:27

This clock face is famous for being smashed in the Bond film Moonraker and so I had to visit it. The climb is steep and narrow and there's no lift but you get a facinating look at the workings of the clock as well as the reward of an amazing view of San Marco Square from the top.

where, when, how, web
San Marco 147, book at tour at Museo Correr or just guide yourself!

Astronomical Clock

If you can fight your way into having a clear view the clock really is something pretty special. It's best to go see it twice, once when it's striking so you can see the full show, but also when it's not so you can get a closer look at the stunning face.

Old Town City Hall...look for the crowds!!

Rajabai Clock Tower

posted by wbasinger on 30 December 2010 at 12:35

I loved this tower, apparently inspired by both Giotto's bell tower in Florence, which is one of my favourite cities ever, and big ben in London. I was shown it on a tour visiting friends in Mumbai and I was immediately taken with it. Looking closer offers yet more rewards with 8 statues revealing themselves as the different castes, so important in indian culture.

MG road, university of mumbai, just by the oval maiden

Alexanderplatz

posted by heisenhart on 3 December 2010 at 16:35

Known just as Alex, this square was central to the peaceful revolution of 1989. I really like the atmosphere here, the TV tower nearby, the world clock patiently telling you the time across the globe and the wonderful and graffitied fountain of friendship between peoples, which I could look at for hours especially at night when it's lit up.

s and u bahn alexanderplatz or head for the TV tower!
