Malmö: the twisted tower on the Öresund

The Turning Torso, a residential skyscraper that twists ninety degrees from base to apex, remains Scandinavia's tallest building and the city's architectural symbol.

Steps away, Stortorget, with its Dutch Renaissance town hall from the sixteenth century, remains the historic heart of the medieval center.

Walking toward the harbor, you pass through the Västra Hamnen district, a former industrial area converted into a sustainably designed residential neighborhood that serves as a European model.

Toward evening, the Öresund Bridge, visible from the city waterfront, connects Malmö to Copenhagen across the strait separating Sweden and Denmark.

The Öresund Bridge, stretching nearly eight kilometres and partly as an underwater tunnel, remains Europe's longest combined road and rail crossing, allowing Copenhagen to be reached from Malmö in just half an hour.

The Turning Torso, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and inspired by the twist of a human body, stands as one of Scandinavia's most photographed residential buildings and an iconic symbol of the city.
