List of tallest buildings in Europe

None

Summary

None

This list of tallest buildings in Europe ranks skyscrapers in Europe by height exceeding 190 m. For decades, only a few major cities, such as Milan, Moscow, Istanbul, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Warsaw 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.

As of 2026, only one European city has 100 or more skyscrapers exceeding 150 m: Moscow (130). Five other European cities have 10 or more skyscrapers exceeding 150 m: Istanbul (56, out of a total of 77 skyscrapers), London (43), Paris (24), Frankfurt (20), and Warsaw (17). Additionally, only four cities in Europe have supertall skyscrapers: Moscow (6), Saint Petersburg (1), Warsaw (1), and London (1). Istanbul also has one supertall skyscraper, but it is located on the Asian side of the city.

Tallest buildings

This list ranks skyscrapers in Europe that stand at least 190 m 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.
