This building has been a significant mile-stone for Prague and its architecture. Designed by Vlado Milunic and Frank Ghery, it was one of the first projects of the 90′s with a big name in Prague. As such, it of course raised some controversy, since many people didn’t want such an extravagant piece to neighbour with older buildings.
The time has shown the beauty of the concept and Dancing house is as favourite as many old sights. There is also a reputable French restaurant Céleste on the top floor – the prices fit the exclusiveness of the spot (500-700 CZK for mains), but are said to be worth the service and quality of meals.
But even as a poor chap you can enjoy the moving spirit of the building – the best spot is from the Palackého Bridge. It actually looks great at night, and any time of day there are stunning views of the whole Prague panorama.

Normally this wouldn’t be my thing at all but for some reason I absolutely love it! Admittedly it’s a bit of a departure from the more traditional look of Prague, but unlike a lot of modern buildings it’s clearly had a lot of thought put into it and is legitimately provocative!
I remember this building from my visit a couple of years ago. My boyfriend and myself were wondering if the people inside have to sit bend not to touch the windows. No, this is just a joke
But this building seriously makes a HUGE impression, so you definitely have to see it when you are in Prague!!!
