Details About Helsingborg

Destinations » Europe » Baltic Sea » Helsingborg


Like a dazzling crown jewel Helsingborg, in popular speech called the Pearl of the Oresund stretches out by the waterfront with its beaches, yacht harbours and waterfront walks. The town is a major travel destination welcoming millions of business and leisure visitors each year. A scenic and picturesque pedestrian area with lots of quality shopping, good restaurants and historic attractions makes Helsingborg a must, not only in Sweden but in Scandinavia.

Activities

  • Kärnan -The Helsingborg Castle. The walls are 4 metres thick. For two centuries, Kärnan was very important as a part of the strategic defence of Denmark. In addition, Helsingborg was one of the more important towns in the Danish kingdom. However, in the 16th century when the construction of the Kronborg Royal Palace began, Kärnan lost some of its importance until a hundred years later when the wars between Sweden and Denmark broke out.
  • "Jordbodalen" is a small zoo, housing our most common animals. Next to this little park you have ''Sundspärlan'', Helsingborg's leisure park.
  • An exciting place for the children is ''Tropikariet''. Here they can watch different kinds of snakes, crocodiles, sharks and lizards in the warm tropical climate.

Shopping

Helsingborg has a large selection of shops. You can choose from a varied collection. The most important shopping street is Kullagatan at the northern end of the city. At the southern end you will find our new shopping centre ''Söderpunkten''
