About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: The building looks like a pair of dancers frozen in motion, often called "Fred and Ginger" after the famous dance duo. Glass curves contrast sharply with concrete angles, making the structure stand out vividly against the more traditional architecture around it.
Κύρια σημεία: The building's unusual design features two towers meant to resemble a dancing couple, inspired by the famous dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and is affectionately nicknamed "Fred and Ginger" by locals. The glass tower leans over the stone tower, creating a quirky optical illusion that feels like it's swaying in motion, which is rare for urban architecture and brings a playful energy to the riverside skyline.
Insider tips
- Reserve a table at the Ginger & Fred rooftop restaurant if you want terrace views, otherwise access may be limited.
- Best photo spots are from Jiráskův Bridge and the riverbank near the National Theatre, especially at golden hour.
- Wear comfortable shoes, nearby streets and steps are cobbled and uneven.
- Combine the visit with a short Vltava riverside walk or a river cruise to see the building from multiple angles.
