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.
Skyline pic of the Västra Hamnen (West Harbour) area
with Turning Torso, completed in 2003, seen to the left. Turning Torso is, at a height of 190m, Scandinavia's
tallest building. For more pics of
the building, go to the Turning
Torso section. Other siginificant buildings, though much lower, are the new WTC, Kockumshuset, the
glass building and Malmömässan, that is about to be torn down while taking this picture.

From northern Europe´s tallest ferris wheel(45m) at the amusement
park Folkets Park at Möllevången I have taken some of the best skyline
shots
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.
The limestone quarry in Limhamn with the brand new serviced apartment complex Victoria Park, consisting of 6 midrises, in the front, and Turning Torso in the background.
Turning Torso, Victoria Park and Bunkeflo kyrka in front of Limhamns kalkbrott seen from the train to Denmark.
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.

Views of the city center from Dockan:
Slagthuset, Smörkontrollen, Skandiahuset, Petrikyrkan. There are plans to build a new highrise cluster at Carlsgatan to the left of this building.
Here also with Posthuset, a light house and Orkanen univeristy building.
Views from Orkanen, the new university building at Hjälmarekajen, next to the city center:
Turning Torso, Malmömässan, Dockan and Kockumshuset seen from Orkanen.
Öresundsbron seen from Orkanen.
This skyline will probably change a lot in the next 20 years as there are plans to build highrises up to 25 floor on Carlsgatan (middle).
Petrikyrkan, Savoy, Börshuest etv during Malmöfestivalen 2010. The bridge is one of Malmö's many new bridges.
The fancy colors of the "Hurricane" university building in front of St Bernard, a nightclub boat.
Skyline seen from Orkanen during Malmöfestivalen 2010. The post office building is the building to the left.
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).
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.

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?

From Pildammsparken you can see the skyline of Sweden´s
tallest residental skyscrapers: Turning Torso(190m, here still under construction)
and Kronprinsen (83m).

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.
