Is Dancing House worth it in a day?

DependsIn a day

Dancing House is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Allow 10–30 min.

A genuinely clever bit of deconstructivist architecture and a refreshing modern note in a baroque city; the rooftop terrace gives a nice river-and-castle view. The catch: it's an office block, so apart from the rooftop bar/gallery there's nothing to enter, and from street level it's a two-minute photo. Worth folding into a riverside walk, not a special trip.
