The area
Address
Neighborhood: Inner City
In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the center. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.

If you've an interest in clocks and the history of time keeping then a trip to Uhrenmuseum is a must go destination .
A world of clocks through the ages awaits ,fascinating facts ,wonderful clocks to view ,it really is a good museum ,the building that houses the museum is also superb ,a grand piece of architecture located at the back of Kirche Am Hof,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Schulhof.

The museum has a good collection of clocks but looks like it is a few years since it was updated. Most of the clocks (they are very old) are not operational. A number of the clocks can be viewed when operational by logging on to a QR code by the exhibit.

So much clocks to look at…and time is slipping by while we are taking in the scenes of the multitudes of various clocks over the ages. Suddenly I remember: “Time and tide wait for no man…”

This is a brilliant museum for clock lovers and historians alike. It covers hundreds of years of timepieces, not just from Austria, but with examples from all over Europe and the world. The museum is on three levels, and entry was approx 8 Euros. You need to place your bags in free lockers on the ground floor, but you are free to take as many pictures as you wish, but not with flash.

A varied range of clocks ranging from the 17th century to today. There were some surprisingly small clocks - smaller than a thumb - given their clockwork mechanisms. On the other hand there were a few enormous clocks which were larger than very large Victorian wardrobes. Well worth a visit!

My son, 18 wanted to visit as he checked online, and it looked interesting for him. We went there on the first Sunday in January so it was free to get in. We were both very impressed by the collection of the clocks they have and clock tower mechanisms.

Interesting museum but doesn't have the popularity that it deserves. Very old and historical clockes. Teaches the technical work of the clockes and the technical advance thru the time. Nice for children to learn. Small place, steps in 3 floors, not sure about elevator. Ticket affordable, explanations mostly without translation. Discounts for seniors.

This is a really interesting little museum fairly central but off the beaten track a bit. The museum itself tells a good story of the Vienna clock and watch history and shows the extensive collection. Many of the items don’t work anymore so don’t expect to get a massive chorus on the hour. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Pretty cool, takes maybe 30-45 minutes to walk through. I went on the first Sunday of the month, when most museums are free. It was worth free, not sure if it’s worth paying for unless you love quirky museums (or if it’s under like 3 euros)
