List of tallest buildings in Europe

(Redirected from List of skyscrapers in Europe)

Further information: List of tallest structures in Europe

This list of tallest buildings in Europe ranks skyscrapers in Europe by height exceeding 190 metres (623 ft). For decades, only a few major cities, such as Milan, Moscow, Istanbul, London, Paris, Warsaw, Frankfurt contained skyscrapers. In recent years, however, construction has spread to many other cities on the continent, including Lyon, Manchester, Madrid and Rotterdam. The tallest building in Europe is the Lakhta Center, located in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg is the tallest skyscraper in Europe.
Seven of the ten tallest buildings in Europe are located within the Moscow International Business Center (MIBC)

As of 2023, six European cities have 10 or more skyscrapers above 150 metres (490 ft): Moscow (70), Istanbul (52),A London (38), Paris (23), Frankfurt (19), Warsaw (17); and only four cities in Europe have supertall skyscrapers: Moscow (7), London (1), Saint Petersburg (1), Warsaw (1).

Tallest buildings

edit

This list ranks skyscrapers in Europe that stand at least 190 metres (623 ft) tall, based on standard height measurements. Architectural details do not include antenna masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. Many non-architectural extensions (such as radio antennas) are easily added and removed from tall buildings without significantly changing the style and design of the building, which is seen as a significant part of the value of these buildings.
