Countries, Europe

This skyscraper is ear-popping fun all right… but where?

It would probably not be your first answer for Europe’s highest building but this skyscraper is ear-popping fun all right… but where?

The Varso Tower in Warsaw soars above anywhere else on the continent at 1,017ft.

Because we’re not counting you Russia, which has five higher, until you start behaving.

And because we love an oul skyscraper, and our ears have only just popped from ascending the Sears Tower (Willis Tower) in Chicago, the original Skyscraper City, earlier this year.

We thought that we’d showcase Europe’s biggest, particularly as it’s just added something on top for our entertainment.

Things are looking up

Vista: Best views

And, of course, you owe it to yourself to have a party in the sky when you get right up to the top .

Of say, the Twin Towers in New York (tick), the CN Tower in Toronto (tick,  tick), or the Sears Tower (tick, tick, tick)

Our Polish pals are rightly excited about its new viewing platform Highline Warsaw on the 53rd floor terrace.

As it rightly says, it elevates the capital to new heights.

We came, Warsaw, we conquered

Best bar none: And order your Polish vodka cocktail

The heart of the project lies on the 49th floor and the HighGarden, a rooftop bar and 4oosqm green terrace.

Where you can sip cocktails, with Polish vodka naturally, and take in the best views of the city.

Now visitors will also be able to enjoy an immersive experience with detailed historical reconstructions, complemented by a concept store with a photography zone.

And who are the brainboxes behind all of this we hear you ask.

Elevated status

Get interactive: A history lesson

Well, Magnicity is a global leader in elevated urban leisure (some of our favourite kinds).

It operates the Paris Montparnasse Observatory, the Berlin Fernseheturm (TV Tower) and the Euromast and Zalmhaven I in Rotterdam.

Swirl power: Warsaw

And the 360 Chicago Observation Deck, the former John Hancock Center,

And we found a £239 Ryanair round trip from our wee airport in Edinburgh to Warsaw.
