When Dancing House (Tančící dům) built? : Modern architecture in Prague “danced” onto the Rašínovo Embankment in 1996.

Who is the Architect? The project comes from the drawing board of world-renowned architects Vlado Milunić and Frank O. Gehry.

Its concept was inspired by the dance skills of the famous film couple – the stone tower symbolizes Fred Astaire and the glass tower, his partner Ginger Rogers.

Photographing the Dancing House

The Dancing House is one of Prague’s few modern icons, and it photographs beautifully against the classical city around it. For couple and solo sessions I like the riverside promenade below it, where the curving glass and stone towers rise behind you, and the Rašínovo Embankment, which frames the building with the river and the castle in the distance.

The best light arrives in the late afternoon, when the glass facade catches the low sun, and again at blue hour, when the building glows against a deep sky. The rooftop terrace offers one of the finest panoramic views in the city, a lovely way to finish a session with the whole of Prague spread out below.
