The Dancing House, also known as "Ginger and Fred," was completed in 1996 and its creation is associated with the courage and vision of the then-president Václav Havel, who wished for an exceptional building to be built on the site destroyed by bombing during World War II. The design of the Dancing House is the work of two globally recognized architects - Czech Vlado Milunić and Canadian Frank Gehry.
Woman and Man
The house consists of two main towers that evoke the impression of a dancing couple. The dynamic form represented by the "dancing" part of the building embodies the female figure (Ginger), while the solid, vertically oriented part of the building resembles the male figure (Fred). This design, which attracted great attention and sparked discussions, has become a symbol of Prague as a city that values its history but is not afraid of modern challenges and innovations.
Gallery, Restaurant, and Terrace
Inside the Dancing House, there is a space that regularly hosts temporary exhibitions focused on modern art, design, and photography. The gallery is a place where you can familiarize yourself with the works of contemporary Czech and international artists and designers.
One of the biggest attractions of the Dancing House is the panoramic terrace, which offers a breathtaking view of Prague. On the top floor of the building, there is a restaurant and café that offer not only excellent gastronomic experiences.
