Turning Torso

Turning Torso is a striking architectural landmark and one of the most impressive sights in Malmö. Its twisting design is truly unique and looks incredible from every angle, especially against the waterfront skyline. Even from the outside, it’s fascinating to admire the scale, detail, and modern elegance of the building. The surrounding area is clean and pleasant, making it a great spot for photos and a leisurely walk. A must-see for architecture lovers and anyone visiting Malmö.

A beautiful skyscraper in the city of Malmö., which twists around itself. If you have time you should come and take a look at it and combine it with a walk by the sea.

The turning torso is a wonderful building to view for any fan of architecture. I viewed this building alongside a New York native I had met on the train from Copenhagen to Malmo. We remarked on the vision behind the building and the similarities between this and that of the current projects being undertaken within his home city. The tower overlooks the Oresund and their are fabulous vistas of the bridge crossing the strait between the two nations.

Great Building with really impressive architecture. I went there at night and was imoressed by the height and the really fascinating view close to the promenade where you can have a nice walk around and watch whats going on in Kopenhagen.

The Turning Torso is Malmö’s iconic landmark and the city’s only skyscraper, visible from almost every corner. Its unique twisted design makes it a masterpiece of modern architecture and a symbol of Malmö’s innovative spirit.

Wonderland area to walk around and enjoy Baltic sea views. Lots of cafes and restaurants in the area to enjoy good food. Light house views were nice. Nice spots to take dip and swim in cold Baltic sea.

Impressive piece of architecture. Tall, twisted and prominent building. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my way in, maybe because of the holidays.

The Turning Torso is one of the most iconic and unique buildings I’ve ever seen — a true architectural wonder that instantly catches your eye from anywhere in Malmö. Designed by the legendary architect Santiago Calatrava, it's not just a skyscraper, it's a piece of art twisting 90 degrees from base to top! At 190 meters (623 feet), it's the tallest building in Scandinavia, and the first twisting skyscraper in the world. Inspired by a human torso in motion, the building consists of nine cubes stacked on top of each other, each slightly rotated to create that incredible spiraling effect. It’s as if the building itself is alive and stretching into the sky. While it’s a residential and office building and not generally open for public tours, just seeing it up close is a powerful experience. The way it reflects sunlight, stands against the sea breeze, and dominates the horizon is genuinely unforgettable. If you’re in Malmö, make sure to walk around the Västra Hamnen area where it stands — it’s a modern, beautifully developed waterfront with great views of the Øresund and the Øresund Bridge. Perfect for photos and architectural appreciation. A must-see for architecture lovers and anyone fascinated by bold, futuristic design!

The Turning Torso in Malmö is a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Standing as the tallest building in Scandinavia, its distinctive twisted design makes it a striking feature of Malmö's skyline. The building is not only impressive from a distance but also up close, where you can truly appreciate its unique structure. While it's primarily residential and not open for public tours, the area around it is vibrant, with parks, restaurants, and stunning views of the Öresund Bridge and the sea. A visit to the Turning Torso offers a glimpse of modern Scandinavian design at its finest.

This building is kind of a strange structure to write a review about. Why? Because it's not a location where you can actually go into. This structure is made up of apartments. Yes, you can take a virtual tour. But, people live here. So, though it is a very interesting structure, and has a very unique architectural design, all you can do is look at it from the outside. This being said, it is one of the most recognizable buildings in all of Malmö. You can pretty much see it from all areas of the city. This structure is very close to the shoreline in Malmö. So, it's a nice place to walk to either when you're coming from the ocean or going to the Malmö shoreline. Overall, it is what it is, an interesting structure, and one of the defining factors of Malmö, Sweden.

Cool building and structure & worth it to see up close although it is visible from many spots in Malmö. Although a residential building, looks like there is a restaurant and some shops. The area (Västra Hamnen) is nice with the Ribersborgs beach only a few steps away and a few restaurants and cafes in this trendy neighborhood. On a beautiful day, worth the 20 minute walk from Central station!

One of the most unique buildings you will ever get to see is the turning torso. In pictures it looks unique but when we got to Malmo and ventured out to see it in person it was even more spectacular than I could have imagined. From our hotel the story which is another architectural wonder the turning Torso was around a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute bus and I would recommend the bus as the weather was extremely cold for someone who is from south Florida. Obviously the swedes and Danes call extremely cold weather like it is moderate winters for them and they love it though. The torso area is still being developed but this being the tallest building in Malmo along with its unique structure is sold out and only open to the viewing public in the summer months but if you want to see the building touch the clouds you will have to brace the moderate winters of Sweden !!!!!

Malmo landmark and "tourist attraction", if you want to live in a uniquely shaped residential building, this is it.

An architectural feat, several times copied, but never fully. Somehow the playfulness of it stands out nicely against the otherwise depressing Swedish style.

Couldn't do much but catch a quick view of the architectural structure. From afar, it's not has impressive. Definitely have other things planned in the area.

The turning torso was the "must-see" attraction in Malmö. It looks impressive from the distance when walking through some of the city but it also looks good from the bottom of the tower. They should have painted the tower in another color to avoid seeing dirt marks so easily which is why I'm removing stars from the review. You should go at sunset so that you get a nice reflection of the colours on the tower! The neighbourhood is also different from what you might see elsewhere. It has all those eco-friendly buildings with special architectures, so you might enjoy talking a walk on the coast. Too bad we couldn't go upstairs to see the city from above...

This place is probably really fancy inside, but they only have private viewings which I've been unable to gain access to. It looks great from outside and has quickly become a Malmo-landmark-

The tower itself is private so once you get there you'll be dissapointed, but from far it is very nice. The area around is nice in the summer when it's not to windy. A village like architectual development built to the highest environmental standards. Silent as cars are sparse. A place that many cities around the world is imitating.
