  We consider higher dimensional generalizations of the four dimensional
topological Taub-NUT-AdS solutions, where the angular spheres are replaced by
planes and hyperboloids. The thermodynamics of these configurations is
discussed to some extent. The results we find suggest that the entropy/area
relation is always violated in the presence of a NUT charge. We argue also that
the conjectured AdS/CFT correspondence may teach us something about the physics
in spacetimes containing closed timelike curves. To this aim, we use the
observation that the boundary metric of a (D+1)-dimensional Taub-NUT-AdS
solution provides a D-dimensional generalization of the known G\"odel-type
spacetimes.
