Tallest building in EU. Travel. This summer, Warsaw is poised to unveil a striking new feature that promises to captivate visitors from around the globe. The Varso Tower, standing as Poland’s and the European Union’s tallest building, will open its doors to the highest viewing terrace in the country. This development is set to elevate Warsaw alongside iconic cities like Tokyo, Paris, and Chicago, offering breathtaking views from its dizzying heights.
The pinnacle of modern architecture in Warsaw
At an awe-inspiring height of 310 metres, including its 80-metre spire, Varso Tower redefines Warsaw’s skyline. Nestled in the vibrant Wola district, it eclipses the once-dominant Palace of Culture and Science, which stands at 237 metres. Beyond its impressive stature, Varso Tower comprises a trio of architecturally significant buildings, crafted by leading design firms. The interiors boast innovative touches, like a stunning glazed lobby adorned with tall trees, adding a touch of nature to urban luxury.

Experience panoramic views from new heights
Visitors will be treated to an extraordinary experience at the viewing complex located between the 49th and 53rd floors. This panoramic vantage point offers sweeping views of Warsaw, enhanced by lush greenery and a bar for a unique dining experience. The journey to this spectacular perspective is facilitated by panoramic lifts, whisking guests upwards in a mere 30 seconds. Compared to the Palace of Culture and Science’s terrace, Varso Tower’s viewpoint nearly doubles the height, promising an unparalleled cityscape encounter.
Anticipated opening in summer 2025
Enthusiasts of long-distance observation have already set their sights on Varso Tower, with reports of glimpsing the city of Lodz, 114 kilometres away, from its rooftop. This remarkable achievement is only a taste of what the viewing terrace will offer once it opens in the summer of 2025. Operated by Magnicity, known for managing iconic attractions worldwide, the terrace is expected to become a must-visit for tourists and a favourite for photographers and nature lovers alike. This addition will undoubtedly cement Warsaw’s place as a key destination on the global tourist map.
