Audio Guide of the Turning Torso

As it is a private residential building, **it is not generally open to the public**. However, during a few weeks in summer the organisation often arranges limited guided tours, which you can check on the HSB Malmö website.

Admiring this architectural gem from outside and strolling around the neighbourhood is completely **free**. If you manage to get a spot on the special summer guided tours (when available), the price is usually around 195 SEK per person.

Generally, spending between **30 and 45 minutes** is enough to walk around the building, appreciate its twisted structure and take some great photos. If you decide to stroll along the adjacent seaside promenade, you can extend your visit to a relaxed hour.

It is a masterpiece by the Spanish architect **Santiago Calatrava**, famous for being the world's first 'twisted' skyscraper, with a 90-degree turn. At 190 metres tall, it is the highest building in Scandinavia and an icon of modern engineering.

**Sunsets** are spectacular, as the golden light reflects off the white façade and glass. In summer, the weather allows you to fully enjoy the seaside setting and the life of the modern Västra Hamnen district.

Yes, the Västra Hamnen district is very modern and has **excellent accessibility**. The pavements are wide and flat, and there are ramps leading down to the seaside promenade, making it easy for wheelchairs and strollers.

Right next door you have the seaside promenade with views of the impressive **Øresund Bridge** and the Stapelbäddsparken skate park. Ribersborg beach and its famous open-air baths are also very close by.

Don't try to photograph it only from the base, as it is too tall; move away towards the seaside promenade (Daniaparken) to capture the whole building with the sea in the background. Bringing a windbreaker is essential, as strong winds often blow in the area.
