Europeans, both men and women, are some of the tallest people in the world. We recently looked at how tall European men are. On this map, we’re going to take a closer look at Europe and see which European women are the tallest.

According to data from the NCD-RisC, Dutch women are the tallest women in, not only Europe, but in the whole world, at an average height of 170.4 cm. They are just ahead of Montenegrin (170.0 cm) women and Danish women (169.5 cm). Women from Nordic, Baltic, Central European and former Yugoslavian countries, are the tallest in Europe and in the world.

Interestingly, both Dutch and Montenegrin men and women are the tallest and second tallest in the world.
