#47> The 100 Most Underwhelming Tourist Attractions in the World

Prague's Old Town Hall Clock is magnificent in it's ability to disappoint. It's not that there's anything wrong with the clock. For a clock built in 1490 it's mechanically and artistically amazing. The thing is, on the hour, every hour, the clock puts on a bit of a show where a skeleton figure pulls a rope and the 12 apostles parade around. Tourists gather in massive numbers, sometimes a half an hour in advance, to await the striking of the hour. I would say a good 80% of them have a, "was that it?" expression on their faces afterwards. Perhaps we shouldn't expect so much from our clocks.
