SWEDISH EXPEDITION




Today we visited Malmö, the third biggest city of Sweden.
We went there by train and crossed the Öresund Bridge, which is the first massive connection from Danmark to Sweden. The bridge is almost 16km long and was opened in 2000 after five years of construction works. We got the best view of the bridge from the Western Harbour of Malmö. This former harbour area is Malmös latest construction project for housing development.
The so-called Turning Torso is a 190m high tower which twists by 90° and houses expensive offices and even more expensive apartments. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and is a famous landmark of the area.
