Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland. It is a major political, economic, and cultural centre in Central Europe, with a metropolitan area of over 3.2 million inhabitants. Warsaw is home to most of the tallest skyscrapers in Poland. The city is home to 33 high-rises taller than 100 m (328 ft), 13 of which have a height greater than 150 m (492 ft) as of 2026. Warsaw's skyline is the largest in Poland, and one of the largest in the European Union, rivalled only by that of Frankfurt and the Paris region. The tallest building in Warsaw is the 310 m (1,020 ft), 53-storey Varso Tower, which is also the tallest building in the European Union.
After the razing of Warsaw during World War II, the city was rebuilt under the Polish People's Republic. The Palace of Culture and Science, offered as a gift to Poland by the Soviet Union, was completed in 1955. At the time, it was one of the tallest buildings in the world, and the second tallest building outside of New York City. For much of the remaining 20th century, the Stalinist tower was by far the tallest landmark on the skyline, as little skyscraper development occurred; however, the addition of "blockhouse" estates throughout the city was common.
Following Poland's democratic and economic transition in 1989, high-rise construction surged in Warsaw, a trend that has continued since. The city's skyline has dramatically transformed during the 21st century, roughly tripling in size from 10 buildings over 100 m (328 ft) in height to 32 such buildings in 2025. Eight of the ten tallest buildings in Warsaw were finished after 2000. The majority of skyscrapers in Warsaw are office towers, reflecting the city's role as a financial hub. In 2022, the Varso Tower overtook the Palace of Culture and Science as Warsaw's tallest building. It is the tallest building in Europe outside of Russia.
Warsaw's skyscrapers are primarily concentrated in the central district of Śródmieście (often anglicized as Downtown), and Wola to its west. Śródmieście was the central focal point for the city's skyline from the 2000s to 2010s, but developments in the early 2020s have extended the skyline towards Wola. There are a few skyscrapers located outside the city centre, such as Forest in the northern neighbourhood of Powązki.
