List of tallest buildings in Europe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While skyscrapers remain sparser in Europe than in Asia or the Americas, a significant number of cities still distinguish themselves by the number of highrise buildings they host. While traditional cities hosting highrise buildings such as Paris, Frankfurt or London remain very active, skyscrapers in the recent years have also boomed in other cities such as Istanbul, Warsaw, Madrid and Moscow, the latter being the one having the tallest projects.

Since its inauguration in 2003, the tallest skyscraper in Europe is Moscow's 264 m Triumph-Palace. Another tower of 448 metres, known as the Federation Tower is currently under construction in the same city and should become the European tallest at its inauguration planned for 2008.
