About this place

Dancing House is Gehry and Vlado Milunić's playful Prague landmark, a modern counterpoint to the city's historic riverfront. Its leaning glass and stone forms make it one of the easiest contemporary buildings in Prague to recognize from the street.

Trivia

The building is nicknamed 'Ginger and Fred' for the way its two towers evoke a dancing couple, a reference often linked to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Visiting tips

The exterior is visible from public sidewalks along the Vltava. A gallery, restaurant, and terrace may be accessible depending on current operations.
