how to locate what wonder is where

[Vulcans]

apologies if this is a simple silly question.
how do you locate where a wonder is built? Is there a wonders menu like in Civ 3? Sometimes it’s good to go after a city if there is a wonder you wish to acquire

How do you know what's built in a city? i know you can zoom in on some of the cities, but sometimes I’m not sure if a icon in the city is some wonder worth keeping or a unimportant building that is worth razing with the city.

F9 Then click "Wonders/Top Cities". It will tell you which civ build what wonder.

In order to know what city build that wonder, you need to sign Open Border, send you units/missionaries to that civs cities. Once you have circulated all its cities once, you will know what cities build what wonders.

If your religion auto spread to AI cities, you will also get that info.

U can often tell even without looking by noticing the speed they are built, and infering this from the speed of religions founded. These often let you know who you are up against, and when knowing people's personalities, etc. it all adds up to good probability of who is out there and is building what.

When a wonder is built it will tell you if it's someone you know, or in a FAR off land right on the message update.

A. Send Spies
B. Look carefully at the city on the main map. Wonders show up sometimes
C. Look at the top city menu as has been already suggested.
D. Capture the city and then zoom in on it -.-
E?. Spread a religon to a city and build that religon's temple. Now you should be able to zoom in on it. I'm not sure though.

Thanks guys,
My macemen were interested in doing some tourist visits to check out the pyramids.

Actually, you can locate every single building in explored areas. City view updates even in the fog of war, so it's possible to know the locations of wonders, national wonders, academies, buildings of interest, etc. Cities also change for different ages indicating your rivals' tech advance. Overall, "reading" cities is most useful in multiplayer.

The pyramids are pretty easy to spot on the map, even without zooming in though! It's the big pointy thing! Stonehenge is pretty easy to spot too. Colossus/Great Lighthouse probably easiest to see though. Statue of Liberty aint too hard to spot either.
