The Dancing House — a modern symbol of Prague
Amid Prague’s Gothic and Baroque architecture, the Dancing House stands out as strikingly modern. Completed in 1996, it was designed by architects Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić. Its unique curves resemble a pair of dancers, earning it the nickname “Ginger and Fred” after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Today, the Dancing House is home to offices, an art gallery, and a rooftop restaurant with panoramic views of the Vltava. It is a testament to how contemporary design can coexist with the historic character of Prague.
