Dancing House, a futuristic building in Prague, the Czech capital
Any journey leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller. - Ibn Battuta
Hello everyone
I still remember last December's visit to the Czech capital, Prague, where I spent unforgettable moments.
Prague is an amazing European capital, I have to say this in every post I make from this place, it is very safe, amazing architecture, paved streets, it has extremely well laid out public transport, because of this I do not recommend that you travel around Prague by car/taxi/uber, you can buy a ticket for a ride or you can get a kind of 24 hour ticket, as we bought this kind of ticket from the hotel reception.
Today we will go together to admire from the banks of the Vltava River, the "Dancing House", and after climbing to the seventh floor we will admire Prague from above.
The Dancing House (Tančící dům) or "Fred and Ginger" is a unique concept of a Czech and an American architect, the result I say is amazing.
How did we get here?
From the hotel where we were accommodated (in a next post I will present you the hotel where we had our accommodation), we walked about 200m to the tram station and then we took tram number 17 or 21, both of them will take you exactly to the tram station in front of this building.
I have to admit that this sight was not on the short list of what we wanted to visit in Prague, but somehow things worked out so that we had some free time left and as public transport here works perfectly we decided to visit it.
I love so much to sit in the tram and look out the window at buildings with amazing architecture, maintained buildings, sometimes it makes me dream, it seems that urban development has been done according to some strict rules regarding architecture.
The Dancing House is an office building consisting of a glass and a concrete building, a futuristic image, and on the seventh floor there is a gorgeous open terrace.
Address: Rasinovo, Nabrezi 80
Transport:Tram line 17 (Karlovo Namesti station)
From the moment we got off the tram we were amazed at how beautiful the Dancing House is, we walked briskly across the street, excited about what we would find there, dying of curiosity if we could go upstairs, because we didn't have much information.
At the entrance on the white ceiling we were greeted by a huge fly (I noticed that some people were scared of it, others didn't even notice it), inside we could see an exhibition with different drawings, but here a motorcycle caught my attention, we took some pictures and continued up some stairs leading to the elevator that takes you up to the seventh floor.
Everything went very well, after we got off the elevator we entered a very nice restaurant called Ginger & Fred Restaurant where you could see the whole city, we had to wait to be taken to the table, the girl at the bar seeing that we are tourists told us that if we want to go out on the terrace will have to pay a fee of 100kc or have a drink at the bar and based on the voucher received we could go out on the terrace.
We enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate and a juice and then went outside on the terrace, wow, what a view of the Vltava river and the bridges over it, the imposing buildings, the only minus was that we didn't get a sunny day and most of the day it was cloudy and quite cold and up at this height it was blowing and the wind made it a bit more difficult for us to stay for long on the outdoor terrace.
Somewhere back at the top of the hill you can see the Petrin tower.
It was the holiday season and everything was full of Christmas decorations, actually visiting the Dancing House I lived a story on the wings of the wind.
Dear travelers, I hope you enjoyed the Dancing House and why not if you happen to be in Prague to take a trip here, it is really worth it.
