Helsingborg Travel Guide

 7 Reviews  One of the most prominent buildings when you depart the ferry in Helsingborg is the Town Hall. It was build in 1897, the same year my grandmother was born. So this struck a note with me. The bell tower is 68 meters high and captures your attention at first glance. 

 5 Reviews  Its obvious from the pictures that it was definately not tourist season. The streets were empty for the most part. Traffic was almost non existent while we there leaving my friend that I was traveling with time to play in the street. From our short time here we found this town to be a great place to... 

 3 Reviews  Because of Helsingborg's strategic defense position, not many historical buildings are left in the city centre as most disappeared in great wars in the 17th century. Councillor Jacob Hansen's House from 1641 is the main exception to this and can be visited at certain hours (otherwise it is mainly... 

 2 Reviews  Stoneware such as the one produced here has been made all over the clay rich north-west of Scania for generations but this is in fact one of the more unique places. It has stayed a lot smaller than famous Höganäs to the north, and therefore, the old means of productions are used and that is what you... 

 3 Reviews  From the city you can walk until the Sofiero castle...it's a long but beautiful walk. You'll see the ocean, rich houses and nice gardens. When u get to the castle, make sure u'll visit the entire garden...it's so magic!!! I didn't get into the castle...but it's wonderful anyway... 

 3 Reviews  Just beyond the KNUTPUNKTEN (see TRANSPORTATION TIP) is Carl Milles seafaring monument, on a pillar, and beside this is a PLAQUE commemorating the landing here in 1810 of Marshal Bernadotte as CROWN PRINCE of SWEDEN. Later on his name was Karl XIV Johan. Very worthy of a visit is the wonderful... 

 4 Reviews  Mariakyrkan is a Hanseatic looking little pretty church smack bang in the middle of Helsingborg. Built in the 14th century on the remains of an earlier church as more and more people discovered the huge amount of herring in the strait and started to settle the shores of Helsingborg and not just the... 

 2 Reviews  A much praised building by Danish architect Utzon (who also designed Sydney Opera House) it is full of interesting art exhibitions of all sorts, a concert hall, area for youth and a city museum. I have yet to go so I can't tell you too much about my personal view on it though. Recently, people have... 

 4 Reviews  Helsingborg may be very popular in Helsingborg and in other cities in Sweden, but you can’t say that they have a strong support, or supporters that create a good atmosphere during the games. They have two different groups of supporters. One is called “Raggeline”, named after a former defender... 

 2 Reviews  Olympia (in English “the Olympic stadium”) is one of the best and most modern stadiums in Sweden. It was rebuilt in 1995, and now takes 17 000 spectators. This season it has hardly never been sold out, but for the big games, and when Helsingborg is playing well, the crowds use to be really... 

 1 Review  Set in a wonderful French-English park landscape, you can stroll around and enjoy a working Skåne farm, old countryside buildings, an outdoor theatre, the old Fredriksdal Mansion, preserved Helsingborg shops and a graphical museum amongst other things. There is also a café in the old stables. See... 

 1 Review  This museum is in fact a part of the Fredriksdal Open Air Museum described above. It is Sweden's largest printing museum and housed in an old Helsingborg house saved from destruction and moved to Fredriksdal. The museum has an exhibition on the history of printing from Guteberg to the computer age... 

 1 Review  In the corner in front of the Jacob Hansen's house there is a beautiful monument to the great astronomer Tyge or Ticho Brahe who lived and work in the island of Ven, in middle of Oresund Sound between Denmark and Sweden. 

 1 Review  The area in the H99 architectural quarters down by the waterfront has become very popular with the crowds. Here they sit and eat and/or drink on sunny days and I cannot name just one restaurant as there are several in the newhouses overlooking the little yacht harbour. 

 2 Reviews  Helsingborg has several twin towns and Helsing¸r in Denmark is one of them. Its beautiful town centre, with old buildings and beautiful small cottages from times gone by, has been preserved better than ours. Both towns are engaged in a joint infrastructure project, the European Corridor, which...
