Western Harbour
The Western Harbour is a new - and very chic - district of Malmö, situated by the sea, and build on the former port and industrial land.
First it was the place where Bo01 - a huge housing exhibition - took place in 2001. Soon its silhouette changed distinctively when a masterpiece of modern architecture – Turning Torso was built. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and being both an art piece and apartment block, this 190 metres high tower became the new landmark of Malmö.
All development is driven by the idea of The Western Harbour becoming internationally leading example of sustainable, environmental adaptation of a densely built urban environment. And already now – and the district is still growing - it is fascinating place where this human- and nature-friendly modern architecture truly brings quality into people’ life. The pleasure of living, working, getting education, and having fun is palpable here.
A row of excellent restaurants with a excellent view, parks and recreation areas, great places for sunbathing or windsurfing, a skatepark (in Stappelbäddsparken) in world’s class, and of course a superb sunsets over the Öresund Bridge. Don’t miss it!
