Jake Heyward wins silver and Eilish McColgan bronze
Jazmin Sawyers also won a dramatic long jump bronze with her final leap.
McColgan's second medal of the games saw her finish behind Germany's Konstanze Klosterhalfen and Turkey's 10,000m champion Yasemin Can.
A late burst from Heyward saw him finish second to Norwegian favourite Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
It was a fine run from Olympic champion Ingebrigtsen, 21, who controlled the race from the front and clocked a championship record of three minutes 32.76 seconds on his way to repeating the 1500m-5,000m European double he achieved as a 17-year-old in Berlin in 2018.
Welsh middle-distance runner Heyward, who was fifth at the bell, accelerated on the final bend to pass Spain's Mario Garcia, who took bronze.
Britain's fast-finishing Matthew Stonier came home in fifth, while Neil Gourley finished eighth.
"I wanted to come into these championships and get a medal," said Heyward, who finished fifth at the Commonwealth Games.
"I'll take silver. I'm disappointed I could not push Jakob further. I felt pretty controlled most of the way. You know as an athlete that I did not have the pop I had last week in Birmingham.
"My chest wasn't good. I've been pretty sick, to be honest, so I'll take that."
