Prague, Czech Republic
Dancing House

Does visiting a peculiarly-shaped house, named and designed after dancers seem inviting to you?

Right after the second world war, the plot of land the Dancing House is currently situated on was previously bombed. A building that is bound to turn heads of anyone who walks past, the deconstructivist building is named after the famous dancing duo – Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the building appears to resemble the two dancing.


Standing out amidst the older and more worn buildings, a piece of modern emerges beyond. A piece of post-modern architecture, this building is unique in every way. “Fred” in his glass façade embraces “Ginger”, a solid concrete structure, beautifully showcasing the stark contrast of fragility against strength. Housing office buildings, cafes and restaurants, it’s in-your-face exterior merely reveals a more subdued appearance. Aside from its strikingly intriguing façade, on the top floor, head there for the greatest panoramic views of Prague, from historic architecture from the 18th and 19th century, characteristic of Prague’s buildings.
