Prague Hotels with Transfer

The Troyskiy Castle. The Troyskiy Castle was built in the 17th century for Waclaw Sternberg, who wanted to impress the Habsburgs by his castle. One of the most attractive objects of the building is the flight of stairs at the main entrance to the French Garden. It's decorated with the sculptures of Olympic gods and other baroque elements. The interior of the castle stands out with sumptuous décor, especially in the Main Hall, which is all over the place decorated with the portraits of the Habsburgs. The Troyskiy Castle serves as a branch of the National Museum of Prague. They keep there a large collection of glass art objects in the baroque style, paintings by the Czech masters of the 19th century and many other interesting things. Not far from the Troyskiy Castle takes place the botanical garden and Prague Zoo.

The Dancing House. 'The Dancing House' such a nickname got one of the office buildings in Prague. The unusual form of the construction is still the subject of much controversy. The architects of these original building were the Czech Vlado Milunić and the Canadian Frank Gehry. The house reminds a little bit a dancing couple, that's why it's sometimes called Fred and Ginger Building (according the names of Fred Aster and Ginger Rogers). On the roof of the building you see a French restaurant with a fantastic view on the city.
