Dancing house is one of the most attractive contemporary buildings in Prague. It was created by the design made of Vaclav Havel and Vladimir Milunich during the period between 1994th and 1996th year. The house is very popular by the name Fred and Ginger (Fred Aster and Ginger Rogers) among the locals, because it reminds of a dancing girl. Dancing house is situated at the corner of Reslova Street and the coastal street of the city. A building in neoclassical style from the 19th century used to stand out. However, this building was destroyed in the bomb attacks by the American aviation against Prague in the end of the Second World War.

Dancing house has 9 floors and it’s formed of 99 panels – different by shape and size. In the beginning, the design of the construction used to cause lots of argues as it used to be thought that it just doesn’t fit the whole baroque and classical city architecture. Within the time, though, Dancing house has turned into one of the most recognizable symbols of Prague. It’s a host to a gallery, hotel, restaurant, glass bar, but for some people, it’s also a working place as it accommodates the offices owned by numerous international companies.

Dancing house has no entrance. You should buy a ticket only if you want to see its gallery. The restaurant and the Glass bar are at your disposal, so don’t miss the chance to visit them for anything in life.
