Overview
Once the site of the Kockums shipyard, Västra Hamnen ('Western Harbor') has been redeveloped since 2001 into an eco-residential district running on 100% renewable energy — a globally recognized model of urban planning. Centered on the Turning Torso, it's a showcase of modern architecture. A waterfront promenade facing the Øresund, the Scaniabadet swimming area, outdoor grill spots, and cafes make it a beloved local retreat. Sunset views over the Øresund toward Copenhagen and the Øresund Bridge are spectacular. Free to visit. About 20 minutes by foot or bike from city center.
