Lonely Planet review

The junction where Resslova meets the river at Rašínovo nábřeží is dominated by the famous Dancing Building, built in 1996 by architects Vlado Milunič and the American Frank O Gehry. The curved lines of the narrow-waisted glass tower clutched against its more upright and formal partner led to it being christened the 'Fred & Ginger Building', after the legendary dancing duo of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It's surprising how well it fits in with its ageing neighbours.
