Leaving from here is a spectacle: the most beautiful airports in the world according to the Prix Versailles

When we think of an airport, our minds immediately turn to efficient security checks, punctual flights, and services designed to make passengers' waits more comfortable.

Yet there's an often overlooked but far from secondary aspect: architecture. Unlike museums, hotels, or futuristic skyscrapers, airports—despite being among the most impressive and busiest structures in the world—are rarely celebrated for their aesthetic value.

And yet they should be: the quality of the spaces, the light, the materials, the coherence with the landscape, everything influences the well-being (and mood) of those who pass through them.

From places of transit to cultural symbols

In recent years, however, something has changed.

Airport architecture is experiencing a renaissance, where functionality, design, and sustainability are merging to transform these global hubs into visual and cultural experiences.

This is underlined by the Prix Versailles , a prestigious international recognition promoted under the aegis of UNESCO , which every year rewards public and commercial buildings capable of combining architectural innovation, aesthetic impact and respect for the environment.

Design, beauty and sustainability

In the 2025 edition, six terminals have been selected to enter the Prix Versailles – Airports list of excellence.

They have in common a concern for the environment, a well-defined architectural identity and the ability to transform space into a place of shared beauty.
