Helsingborg: Guide
Helsingborg is in the Scania province of South Sweden.
Understand
Helsingborg is a small city situated at the north side of the Oresund on Sweden's south-west coast. Major businesses are service, trade, industry and tourism. In 2001 a branch of the University of Lund opened in the former Tretorn rubber factories a stone's throw from the Denmark ferries.
Opposite of the sund in Denmark is Elsinore (Helsingør). Before the Malmö-Copenhagen Øresund bridge was finished, most of the trans-scandinavian traffic (transit and tourist) used the ferries between Helsingborg and Elsinore. There is still heavy traffic across the Sound here because of the high population density on either side of the border. In addition, the ferries are usually somewhat cheaper than the fees for the bridge and they often provide a shorter route compared to the bridge.
Get in
By train
Helsingborg has good rail connections to Malmö, Lund, and Gothenburg. Stockholm-bound travellers need to change trains in Hässleholm or Lund.
By bus

Get around
See
Helsingborg Castle overlooks the harbor, with archways over the steps leading down to the city center. Kärnan, the rectangular-plan tower at the top of the bluff, can be climbed, though the view of of the harbor isn't appreciably better than from ground level, and the rest of the city isn't particularly notable.
Sofiero Castle is 19th century ocean-side royal castle and gardens located 5 km from the city center. The gardens display local and foreign plants. It's famous for its plantations of Rhododendron, blossoming in early summer. The castle has a restaurant and modern art gallery.
Do
Dunkers Kulturhus (Dunkers Culture House) is a much more than a museum. Here you can listen to various concerts and experience art, history and crafts. You can have lunch at the resturant on site and after take a stroll around the harbour.
