Every house like this provokes negative comments, that's what they are planned for. We found it absolutely amazing. And yes, it does fit the buildings around it. If you have the chance, go up the Petrin tower and have a look at the "dancers" from above, then you can see how smoothly the architecture melts into the surroundings. There is... More

Interesting design and a clever concept. Good to see some modern architecture to balance with the Baroque etc. We tried to buy a drink and go up to the top floor /terrace cafe/restaurant but was closed for a private function. More

Crazy art, I like the shape of it and it gives the city a reputation. Cities now at days are competing on art to attract people from all around the world. I think they have managed to do it. More

I guess if you did not know the concept behind it, you might not figure out why it is called the dancing building. You will probably see it when out walking along the river, no need to make a special trip. More

I kind of enjoyed seeing a different type of building in the city of Prague... It's not a highlight by no means, but if you happen to pass it by chance, then take a closer look. More

Why build a building full of clean lines and right angles when you can create something like this! I don’t know the history behind it, but this a very cool and unusual building. It is just something to see as you walk past, but it is so unusual that I would recommend it. Weird and cool, and amazing in the... More

we went there for my Birthday and our hotel had informed them of this. I was treated like a VIP, and felt like a princess! Although a little pricey, this experience was definitely worth the money, and I recommend anyone going for a romantic break to take the time to book this place for a memorable experience in Prague.

Loved it: the Castle, the old town, the famous old clock, many restaurants, the river and bridges..... a big park. Lovely. Just note: using taxis from the train station is not recommended by any guide! Check the distance from your arrival point to your hotel on Google and you'll be able to figure the amounts you should be asked to... More
