Standing out amongst Prague's historical buildings, this Deconstructivist gem will definitely catch your eye. The house was designed by Vlado Milunić in co-operation with Frank Gehry and represents a man dancing with a woman. Not many people know that the house's original name was Fred and Ginger, named after the famous dancing pair - Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The building is now simply referred to as the Dancing House.
The construction was completed in 1996 and was very controversial at first, as it was the first modern architecture building in the neighborhood. Nowadays the building is mostly admired, even among the locals. It also houses a restaurant.
You can get here by metro, station Charles' Square, line B.
