No matter where you decide to go in Prague, there is one building you must not miss. You might be surprised to hear that this is an office building, but it certainly isn’t boring and it is something of an attraction that all tourists have an opinion on.

It’s called the Dancing House, and for good reason too. This building is, shall we say, uniquely designed. It has a higgledy piggledy look to it, and you might be concerned that there isn’t any scaffolding holding it up.

But that is exactly how it is supposed to look. The twisting building has acquired an amusing nickname that should give you an idea of what to expect. Fred and Ginger was the name freely given to the building by some, as it is said to resemble the famous dancers.

You can go inside the building and enjoy a beautiful meal in the restaurant on the top floor. But of course it could be argued that the best view of this building is not from the inside out, but from the outside in.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about the ‘Fred and Ginger’ building is that it doesn’t look out of place in Prague. When you consider how the rest of the city has developed over the years, the Dancing House wouldn’t appear to be in keeping with that style.

But somehow it manages to take its place alongside many other older buildings and it doesn’t look any the worse for it either. The house features on many of the guided tours of the city too, so if you want to find out more about it this is a great way to do just that.

The building has been standing for some thirteen years now. The amount of glass used in its construction makes it stand out even more on sunny days, but it needs little introduction whatever the weather happens to be doing. In any event this is one building you can see from a fair distance away, and as you get closer you’ll be amazed at what is a true feat of engineering.
