The Anker Clock was designed by the painter Franz von Matsch on the Gothic arch of the Anker Insurance Company. At noon several historical figures file past to the sound of music.

So much hype about this clock! It's an attractive clock, and tourists fill the small area in front of it to watch the entire "parade" of figures across the clock at noon, as we did. It's a good looking clock and makes for great photos, but is not the first thing you should see in Vienna.

Really hyped up in all the guide books which resulted in hoards of people waiting there at 11.50, but everyone had left after about 1 minute of the lacklustre display. Didn't really do it for me
