The neighborhood where the Turning Torso is situated belongs to the sites I show for most visiting friends. The waterfront is really, really nice - starting with a long beach with many kilometres of sand, a century old sea bath, from 1898, with wood stowed saunas and a magnificent view from the sauna over the water - worth a visit...

Two or three times per year they allow the public to go to the top floor. There is a presentation and information about how the building was built and fun facts about the construction. The view is awesome! Our then 6 year old loved the excursion. More

Turning Torso is the tallest skyscraper in Sweden and the Nordic countries, situated in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia, the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially... More

This crazy building is now for sale! Hurry up and grab this world famous landmark before the owner HSB change their mind. If you're a bit short of cash, you could always make a bid for the smaller copy in Valencia. Turning Torso sits in the Western Harbour which is the home of many great bars, restaurants and ice-cream parlours... More

Dont miss a visit to this cool building surrounded by new, ecofriendly buildings or buildings to be built. In summer take a stroll along the beachfront, watch all the sunbathers and have an icecream or a coffe. Maybe even take a deap-sea swim along with the locals. More

I had the privilege of staying in an apartment housed within the turning torso when I visited in May 2010. The structure of the building is unique and it's quite a cool place to be in. The view from the high floored apartment was fantastic and you could oversee the Oresund Bridge connecting sweden and denmark. More

The building is cool looking, I'll admit. But you can see it from almost anywhere in the city if you are at least 3 floors above ground. Actually visiting (which means standing in front of the building) it does not add much. There is an area to swim in the Oresund close to it, but the water is (supposedly) perpetually... More
