Skyline of Eindhoven, not the best one ofcourse! I think the skyline of Frankfurt & Rotterdam is the best..

it would be cool if the moderator would do his job and kill futuristic pictures in this thread instead of killing my current Frankfurt pictures. or maybe i should go to 2015 and add the proposed towers / some 200+ towers and the mighty Millennium Tower, then you can go home.

even if Russia would build a 1000 meter tower, they will never have the impressive and clean skyline of a city like Frankfurt.

I could produly present that I've been to Warsaw, Moscow, London and Paris. Well from those I've been at the moment of visit:
1. Paris
2. London
3. Warsaw
4. Moscow

From pictures I've seen here
1. Frankfurt
2. Istanbul
3. Paris
4. London
5. Warsaw
6. Moscow
7. Rotterdam
8. Madrid

Future skyline in my imagination by u/c and proposed (not including projects etc.)
1. Moscow (because of interesting supertalls)
2. Paris (La Defanse upgrade looks great)
3. Frankfurt (stylish as always)
4. Madrid (great plans, some u/c supertalls)
5. Warsaw (superior skyline for EE) /London ( I think Londons power is in low height architecture, such stylish buildings. talls tend to be very boxy)
6. Istanbul/Rotterdam (I just didn't see many project for these cities)

To me it would be something like that:

1. Paris
2. Frankfurt
3. London
4. Warsaw

Thank god that in Parisian skyline there's not Eiffel Tower. Historical buildings never look nice with skyscrapers. That's why to me Moscov with its socrealistic buildings it's too much mixed and diversed. Many factory chimneys (and its smoke) looks horiblle as well. Why u r giving it to poll, the bigger doesn't the better.

Euroscrapers is unique of putting its skyscrapers outside city centres or the traditional core just like what Paris did. But the tallest scraper in the city is still in the traditional core.

This part of the Moscow's skyline includes Moscow-city super tall cluster that is growing quickly. Now the highest skyscraper is 268 tall. In 5 months the tallest one will have 284 metres. In one year the first super tall will be seen. By 2012 the Russia tower (612 m) and several super talls will be built.

a bit strange knowing the hatred towards us, but ok!

What the French? Naw, the French are lovable eccentric people. It's their politicians, or it used to be at least, that blame the US for everything..

All of Europe's main skylines are growing fast so it's hard to forecast a lot of change in these positions IMO.

1. London
2. Paris
3. Moscow
4. Istanbul
5. Warsaw
6. Rotterdam
7. Frankfurt
8. Barcelona
9. Liverpool
10. Benidorm

Sorry I don't really like Frankfurt. A skyline shouldn't subtract from the essence of its city..it should offer plenty of reflection of it, and London's and Liverpool's do that remarkably well. I don't think Benidorm is as awful-looking as some think it is..it looks just like a lot of the US' major coastal resort cities, except a little older. I recognize that soon Madrid will probably overtake Rotterdam's spot on my list, but I don't see a lot of other change. Maybe if Brussels took on some more density, maybe..and honorable mention goes to Vilnius and The Hague. Ironically from some vantage points Istanbul looks like the most American-like of the lot, and then from other vantage points it looks like the least American-like of the lot. Odd, huh?

That's just this one American's perspective, though.

Even for Paris, although the skyscrapers are mainly clustered in La Defense west of 1er (the historic core), the tallest one in the city is actually across town (Tour Montparnasse). The Parisians aren't as daring in their redevelopment schemes in the core.

Considering London is such a major European city, their experiments with new constructions in the historic core may be a model for other European cities to follow.

True. There's also some high-rises located west of The Eiffel Tower.
In fact, I don't think it's accurate to say Paris' skyline is in La Defense. It includes even the lowrises and midrises elsewhere in the city that connect to the tall buildings that dot the cityscape elsewhere.

Hence, it goes back to my argument that a nice skyline doesn't always need to have skyscrapers.

The Montparnasse tower is a bit sole, the district need more skyscrapers. :yes:

Paris is the western European city with the most high-rises, most are not located iin la Defense.
There is other cluster like Olympiades, Front de Seine (near the Eiffel tower), Orgue des Flandres, Montparnasse...

Geographically, Istanbul is both in Europe and Asia. Association is not a valid reason to overrule geographic reality.

The Australians are associated with the British due to historic ties (although that association is being tested these days). Yet I don't see them as being part of Europe at all.

Well, I think people's knowledge and travel experience to London, Paris, and perhaps even Frankfurt are stronger than Istanbul if we were to take a cross section sample of the world.

That's true. I've been to all mentioned except Istanbul. But photos look great!

I'm actually quite interested in seeing a mix of historic lowrises and modern skyscrapers. Having a skyscrapered landscape doesn't give a European city much uniqueness compared to other parts of the world. The coupling of both old and new will definitely make for a nice contrast. Once the dust settles in London, perhaps we can see how well the two extremes can co-exist.

Number 1. FRANKFURT (for sure)

2. PARIS/ISTANBUL
4.LONDON
5.WARSAW

Note: MOSCOW will be a big rival to all of them in 2-3 years.

Istanbul, my city, has a great skyline but its consisted of separate clusters. The main clusters are Kozyatagi(asia side); Sisli, Levent and Maslak(europe side). If these clusters were all together, I assert that Istanbul would have the best skyline in the entire Europe. :D

Here there are some photos of these clusters and the future skyline (~5 years later):

Moscow certainly is mushrooming up. I had Moscow in 4th, but with these new towers nearing completion, Moscow is a solid #2. Moscow will probably be the skyscraper capital of Europe very shortly. London and Paris are rapidly developing a skyline, but Russia is booming like no other nation in Europe. They're the Canada of Europe, in some respects.

Um... Moscow is looking very good these days, but 6 nice new towers doesn't make it best in the world. Build another 100 towers like that, and then we'll see. Best in Europe is plausible.

design is important imo, not number of the skyscrapers:nono:

For today the best 5 skylines are (in order):

1. Frankfurt
2. London
3. Istanbul
4. Moscow
5. Paris

There are no more really good skylines in Europe for today.


In 5 years i predict the list will be like this:

1. Moscow
2. Istanbul
3. Frankfurt
4. London
5. Paris

Maybe they will build some very good skylines in other cities too. For example Warsaw already looks like beating above mentioned cities, but still lack of something there.

They're going to build all that? It's impressive...but they've made too much of a 'mountain' of it.

What's the Bank of China like tower?

Youre right, too much "best skyline in EU", which is more lively thread.

My Top 10:

1. Frankfurt
2. London
3. Paris
4. Rotterdam
5. Warsaw
6. Moscow
7. Madrid
8. Liverpool
9. The Hague
10. Vilnius

If Istanbul is being considered "european" it would be on #7 for me, before Madrid, which would get #8 then. Vilnius would be out of the Top 10.
