Malmö skylines and views
This part is about skylines and tall buildings. It is hard to see a skyline
of Malmö, cause there are no hills and there few tall buildings to get
up in and the city center can hardly be seen from the sea. But I have manage
to capture the skyline from some angels. Västra Hamnen/Bo01 is one of the
few skylines that can be seen from the water. The views of Bo01, Öresundsbron
and the limestone quarry can be seen in the outskirts
section.
The skyline was improved between 2003 and 2005 by Turning Torso, a famous controversial
building that is much taller than all other buildings.
From northern Europe´s tallest ferris wheel(45m) at the amusement park Folkets Park at Möllevången I have taken some of the best skyline pictures of Malmö.
Malmö skyline from the left: St Johannes Church, Kronprinsen, Hilton and Turning
Torso. I had never seen any angle with these buildings visible at the same time
before!
Downtown skyline, a closer view: Johanneskyrkan, Kronprinsen, Hilton.
Downtown from the left: Turning Torso, Kv. Mården, Kockumshuset, Quality Hotel
Konserthuset and St Petri Church(Malmö´s tallest building until TT is completed).
Yes, you can even see Öresundsbron in the distance!
Södervärn. The violet spot is approxiemately were my apartment is. From the
left: Heleneholmverket chimney, commie blocks, Södervärns water tower, commie
blocks and my home(not a commie block) and Hyllie water tower.

Möllevången
roofs in the front.Värnhem and "Svanen", the crane that built the
bridge. In the far distance is Lund.
The ferris wheel.
Malmö skyline, dominated by Turning Torso, seen from the train to Denmark, at the Swedish side of Öresundsbron. The chimneys and the Cementa factory will be torn down.
The same view from a bit further away, also including Kronprinsen, Hilton and St Petri Church.

A panorama of Malmö´s skyline as seen from Frihamnsviadukten,
that goes through the rails that lead to Malmö´s central station.
Turning Torso is surrounded to the left of Slagthuset and to the right of Kockumshuset
and Öresundshuset. To the far left is Petrikyrkan. In the center is the
central station and the post office building.

A closer look. The buildings are a bit far from each other, but with Scandinavian
measures it is a nice little cluster!

Futuristic Malmö. X2000 passes by the ultramodern skyscraper Turning
Torso and other highrises.

Skyline from Lidl´s roof near my home at Dalaplan. Towers from
the left: Turning Torso(!), Folkskolan, Johanneskyrkan, Hilton. In the foreground:
The large university hospital MAS. At the 2nd pic even Petrikyrkan is visible.
View from the same garage: The new emergency ward, a school, St Johannes church and Hilton and a newly rebult parking garage in the foreground, that now blocks the views somewhat. Compare the garage with how it looked before (the photo above this picture).

Hilton's atrium seen from its exterior glass panorama elevators at night.
Södra Förstadsgatan seen from Hilton's external glass elevators.
If you climb up one of these high hills between the 2 commie block districts
Holma and Kroksbäck, you can see the whole Malmö. The commie block districts in
the outskirts are visible closest to the camera, and in the background you can
see the more "wealthy" districts of Malmö and the city center. It is all pointed
out together with the most important buildings.

Scroll to the right to see almost all tall structures in Malmö!
Yes, you can even see Öresundsbron...
...and the wealthy suburb of Limhamn from the hills of Holma. And if you look
far, can you see Copenhagen on the horizon?

Skyline pic of the Västra hamnen (formerly Bo01 exhibition) area
with the recently completed Turning Torso seen to the left. For more pics of
this skyline go to the Turning
Torso section. There you also can see skylines including the Öresund
bridge.

Malmö´s highway skyline from the south (when you arrive from
Ystad). You can read what each tall structure is called and its height.
From Pildammsparken you can see the skyline of Sweden´s
tallest residental skyscrapers: Turning Torso(190m, here still under construction)
and Kronprinsen (83m).
A closeup of the same view, when Turning Torso still was under construction.

Note St Petri Church to the far right..

Note the little highrise cluster. Unfortunately,
Slagthuset is hidden behind
Öresundshuset.
Views from Umas, the university hospital:

Södervärnstornet with the highrises of Rosengård and Höja in the background.
Hilton, and the churches St Petri and St Johannes are visible.
Bulltoftafältet, the field near Riseberga were Ikea used to be. This is the district were I grew up as little. It’s hill is not only a place to ride pulka wintertime, it also has great views of Malmö, though from a distance.
Kronprinsen, St Petri and TT.
Arlöv, a northern suburb. Note the windmill "Kronetorp" to the far right and Arlövs kyrka to the left.
St Petri and Turning Torso.
