Which is tallest Eiffel Tower or Burj Khalifa?

The Eiffel Tower is the eldest. The tallest tower is Burj Khalifa (828 metres) and the shortest is the Bratislava UFO (95 metres).



The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is significantly taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The Burj Khalifa stands at a staggering 828 meters (2,717 feet), making it the tallest building and man-made structure in the world as of 2026. In comparison, the Eiffel Tower has a total height of approximately 330 meters (1,083 feet), including its broadcast antennas. This means the Burj Khalifa is more than 2.5 times the height of the Eiffel Tower. To put it into perspective, you could stack two full Eiffel Towers on top of each other and still have over 160 meters of space left before reaching the tip of the Burj Khalifa. While the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world when it was completed in 1889 (and held that title for 41 years), modern engineering allowed the Burj Khalifa to shatter all previous records when it opened in 2010. Both remain iconic symbols of their respective cities, but in terms of sheer verticality, the Burj Khalifa is in a completely different league.
