There are over 30 high-rise buildings in Bratislava over 80 meters high with dozens in the planning process or in construction. These are sometimes incorrectly called skyscrapers, predominantly in print; however, currently (2024) there is only one true skyscraper in Bratislava (over 150 meters high). The Eurovea 2 tower reached a height of 168 metres after construction finished in 2023. At this time (2024), it is the first and only true skyscraper in both Bratislava and Slovakia. Since the 2010s there is a forming of a new Bratislava downtown area next to the Danube river called "Nivy" where the majority of current high-rise buildings and future skyscrapers are located. Because of the lack of high-rise city planning, a lot of 100m buildings are scattered all around the city.
The tallest building is currently the Eurovea Tower at 168 meters in height and with 46 floors.
The tallest structure in Bratislava is the Kamzik TV tower with 196 meters.

A skyscraper is a tall continuously habitable building having multiple floors. Modern sources define skyscrapers as being at least 100 meters (330 ft) or 150 meters (490 ft) in height, though there is no universally accepted definition, other than being very tall high-rise buildings. Historically, the term first referred to buildings with between 10 and 20 stories when these types of buildings began to be constructed in the 1880s. Skyscrapers may host offices, hotels, residential spaces, and retail spaces.
The Federation Tower is a complex of two skyscrapers built on the 13th lot of the Moscow International Business Center in Moscow, Russia. The two skyscrapers are named Tower East or Vostok and Tower West or Zapad.
The Lakhta Centre is an 87-story skyscraper built in the northwestern neighbourhood of Lakhta in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Standing 462 metres (1,516 ft) tall, it is the tallest building in both Russia and Europe, and the sixteenth-tallest building in the world. It is also the second-tallest structure in Russia and Europe, behind the Ostankino Tower in Moscow, in addition to being the second-tallest twisted building and the northernmost skyscraper in the world.
Skyscrapers of Ukraine are high-rise residential and office buildings in Ukraine. Until 2009, skyscrapers in Ukraine were considered to be buildings higher than 74 meters, however, this has been increased to 100 meters.
The architecture of Slovakia has a long, rich and diverse history. Besides Roman ruins, Slovakia hosts several Romanesque and Gothic castles and churches, most notably Spiš Castle, which were built at the time of the Kingdom of Hungary. Renaissance architecture was of particular relevance in town hall squares, such as in Bardejov and Levoča. Affluent architecture in the following centuries made use of Baroque, Rococo and historicist styles, while vernacular architecture in the countryside developed a specific style of wooden houses and wooden churches. In the 20th century, Slovakia knew Art Nouveau and modernist architecture, including socialist modernism, and finally contemporary architecture.
