Prague Guide

Dancing House (Tancici dum) was built in 1996 by architects Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic. Václav Havel, the Czech playwright and former President, had strong support for avant-garde architecture and was instrumental in the controversial design being approved and built. People call the house ‘Fred and Ginger' as it looks like a pair of dancers. The house stands out among the neo-baroque, neo-Gothic and art nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous. Although the building isn't open to the public, on the 7th floor there is an expensive - and one of Prague's best - restaurants, Celeste (French cousin). It is a nice place for dinner with magnificent views over the Vltava river and the castle.

Celeste Restaurant - this French restaurant has great views of the Vltava, great interior design and appealing menu. Location: Rašínovo nábřeží 80, dancing house.
