List of tallest buildings in the European Union

This list ranks the tallest buildings in the European Union (EU) that stand at least 150 metres (492 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement. This means that spires and other architectural details are included in the official height, but not antenna masts, as it is defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Only habitable buildings are ranked, which excludes radio masts and towers, observation towers, cathedrals, steeples, chimneys and other tall architectural structures. Tall buildings are relatively rare within the EU compared to other regions of the world that have the know-how and capital to build skyscrapers. Only a few cities in the EU have a notable number of high-rises, best known are: Frankfurt, Warsaw, Madrid and Paris. Most skyscrapers in Europe can be found outside of the EU, notably in three cities: London, Moscow and Istanbul. As a result, out of the top 500 tallest buildings in the world, as of 2024, only one is in the EU. Since 20 February 2021 the tallest building in the EU has been the Varso Tower in Warsaw, Poland, which is 310 metres (1,017 ft) tall.
