Dancing House in Prague

A modern building that has made Prague famous around the world – how do you like it?

This symbol of modern architecture in Prague was initially received with mixed feelings, but soon became a popular tourist attraction and has received a number of prestigious awards.

Dancing House was built in 1992–1996 along Prague’s Rašínovo waterfront. Its author, Czech architect of Croatian descent, V. Milunić, invited renowned Canadian-American designer Frank O. Gehry to work on it. Today this building inspired by the dancing couple of Ginger & Fred is considered the best-known example of modern Czech architecture after 1989.

The Mánes Exhibition Hall

The Vltava riverside in Prague attracts visitors for romantic strolls throughout the year. There is always something happening there. When you go explore the busiest area along Rašínovo nábřeží (between the Dancing House and the National Theatre), you will definitely notice the tall Renaissance tower with dark bricks, leaning against a low block with large windows... And this is the legendary Mánes Exhibition Hall.
