HSB Turning Torso
About
The Turning Torso is Malmö’s iconic neo‑futurist skyscraper, designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2005. It reaches 190 meters (623 ft) and twists through nine 5‑floor segments, creating a dramatic, spiralling silhouette that has become a symbol of the city’s skyline. Public visitors can experience the tower via guided tours and scheduled visits to its upper floors, which offer sweeping views of the Øresund region. Inside, it houses 147 residential apartments, offices, a top‑floor club, and conference rooms—making it a dynamic blend of living, working, and leisure space. For those seeking a skyline view, the observation deck on floor 49 provides expansive vistas of Falsterbo, Trelleborg, Helsingborg, Copenhagen, and the Skåne countryside. The building’s unique design, combined with its strategic location near the Øresund Bridge, creates an unforgettable urban landmark. Visiting requires advance booking; spontaneous tours are not permitted. Contact customer support to schedule your visit, and be sure to book early during peak periods.
