Where to look
At 12:28 PM the Sun is towards the north-northeast, 66° above the horizon. That is high enough to clear most buildings, so an open street, a balcony or a terrace facing that way will do.
What you will notice
Inside the path the Moon leaves a bright ring of sunlight. The light dims and looks oddly flat, but the sky stays blue. The ring is still far too bright to look at, so keep your eclipse glasses on throughout.

Viewing safely
Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, never look directly at the Sun without suitable solar viewing protection. Eclipse glasses should comply with ISO 12312-2. Cameras, binoculars and telescopes need purpose-made filters fitted over the front of the optics.
