Catch Vienna's Ankeruhr in motion on Hoher Markt. Watch the copper figures of this Art Nouveau clock glide across its face, then take in the ornate details up close.

Full description

The Ankeruhr spans the gap between two buildings above Hoher Markt in the old city, a decorative Art Nouveau clock with copper accents and a procession of figures that move across its face as the hours pass.

The clock is open to view around the clock at no cost, and a visit takes about 15 minutes. Reviewers note that the noon parade draws the largest crowds, so timing shapes the experience.
