We point out a close relation between a family of Goedel-type solutions of 3+1 General Relativity and the Landau problem in S^2, R^2 and H_2; in particular, the classical geodesics correspond to Larmor orbits in the Landau problem. We discuss the extent of this relation, by analyzing the solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in these backgrounds. For the R^2 case, this relation was independently noticed in hep-th/0306148. Guided by the analogy with the Landau problem, we speculate on the possible holographic description of a single chronologically safe region.
