In the lovely Västra Hamnen area, you can't miss the eye-boggling Turning Torso, a futuristic skyscraper that twists through 90 degrees from bottom to top. Designed by Spaniard Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2005, at 190m it was the tallest building in Scandinavia when constructed. As the building is almost completely residential, it has no observation deck, but there are conference rooms on the top two floors, which are occasionally opened to the public.
