I recently travelled to Malmo to see this engineering marvel and was not disappointed. I would however, point out that it is situated in an area of the city which resembles a 'post-apocalyptic movie scene' as the area has been an industrial area which is now being redeveloped. Given time, the building will fit in perfectly, but for now, it... More

You can't enter the Turning Torso but it's still worth appreciating from the outside. It's the tallest building in Malmö and makes an impression on the city from all around. To make the most of seeing it make sure you take in the coastal bits, beach and little restaurants nearby - this is a developing area of Malmö and will... More

We took a trip out on the bus to have a look at this up close. Amazing building and worth the look just to see the shear size of the building.

The turning torso is a beautiful building by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and the tallest skyscraper in Sweden. It's worth to visit but unfortunately you can't go inside and up for sightseeing.

Beautiful building with a back drop of Blue sea. It is good to visit there as it is synonym to Malmo city. To enjoy the sea front you will anyway go that side...so enjoy this too.

Maybe it was the grey, windy and cold day but all I can really say is that it's big! I'm glad that we could use our train ticket for the buses otherwise I honestly wouldn't have bothered. It's an interesting building archiecturally and on a warm sunny day the area that the building is in is very nice, nice apartments,... More

It is far from the city's centrum and after reading some of the reviews on trip advisor I decided not to walk all the way to this building and just take photos from a distance. Interesting architecture however it looks as though its out of place.

Calatravas spectacular building the Turning Torso is a must if you visit Malmö.
