The building can be seen from almost everywhere in London; it is located near the London Bridge, another emblem of the city of London. Originally the tower was called "The London Bridge Tower" but was renamed "The Shard" as it looks like "a shard of glass through the heart of historic London".

2. Commerzbank Tower

Frankfurt - Germany

Older and only slightly smaller than "The Shard" at 300 m high, Commerzbank Tower dates from 1997 and was designed by the famous architect Norman Foster.

It is one of the emblems of this city. As its name suggests, the tower is still the headquarters of the Commerzbank and has for many years been the tallest building in Europe.

5. One Canada Square

London - United Kingdom

This was London's tallest skyscraper for a long time, until the opening of "The Shard. It is 235 m high and has 50 floors; it was originally supposed to be a bit taller (250 m) but the London City Airport was not happy with that.

Come discover this impressive building and book your activities in London such as a London River Thames Cruise and your hotel at the best price in this innovative city. We recommend the Hilton London Canary Wharf near this legendary skyscraper. 

6. Palace of Culture & Science 

Warsaw - Poland

The Palace of Culture and Science with its 237 m should be ranked above "One Canada Square" but the height of the former includes its high antenna!

It is about 188 metres high and has 42 floors. No need to admire it from below, you can climb to the top and visit one of the tallest building in Poland. It hasn't been the tallest building in Poland (which is Varso Tower with 310 m) for years but it remains one of the iconic buildings of this city. Book your entrance tickets: the view is breathtaking from the 31st floor!

We recommend  the InterContinental Warszawa; its pool has breathtaking views of the Palace of Culture and Science. 

7. First Tower 

Paris - France

The First Tower seems smaller but it is actually taller than The Palace of Culture and Science at 231 m high. It is also more recent (1974) but was well renovated in 2010 and raised. Now it overtakes the Montparnasse Tower which was until then the tallest skyscraper in France.

Book your hotel at the best price in Paris, in the “La Défense” district, for example at the Sofitel Paris La Défense, close to the First Tower.

8. Tour Montparnasse

Paris - France

Many Parisians still think of the Montparnasse as the tallest tower in France; it no longer is but it is the most famous and most visited one. Climb to the top of the Montparnasse Tower, for a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower.

With a height of 210 m and 59 floors, the Montparnasse tower was the tallest building in France until 2011 when the "First Tower" in the district of La Défense was renovated.

We recommend the Hotel Luxembourg Parc near the Montparnasse Tower. 

9. Turning Torso

Malmö - Sweden

The Turning Torso is one of the tallest buildings in Europe and it is the tallest tower in Scandinavia (190 m, 57 floors). Its name is due to its twisted shape, a technological feat since it is the first skyscraper in the world with such a shape.

10. Intempo 

Benidorm - Spain

This skyscraper (189 m) was completed in 2014, 7 years after the project had started. The Spanish real estate crisis significantly slowed the project. An apartment in this skyscraper is less expensive than any apartment in the poshest neighbourhoods of Paris, but it is still more than 6000 euros per square metre.

Treat yourself to a much cheaper stay in one of the best hotels in Benidorm and discover the best activities in Spain for a perfect holiday.
