Port of Helsingborg

If you look at a sea chart, you will observe that Elsinore and Helsingborg stand on their respective shores at the narrowest point of Øresund. This unique location offers cruise passengers a rare opportunity to discover two countries and two towns in one visit!

A visit to Helsingborg would not be complete without a trip to Sofiero, particularly in May and June when the rhododendron is in full bloom. Fredriksdal museums and gardens is one of Sweden's most famous open-air museums with an outstanding botanical garden. The Kärnan tower, Helsingborg's most famous landmark, has guarded the city for over 600 years. The Dunker Culture centre, designed by Danish architect Kim Utzon, is a widely renowned building, displaying various temporary exhibitions, both national and international, along with objects from the town's museum collections.

The three castles, Hamlet's Castle in Elsinore (World Heritage List), Fredensborg Slot in Fredensborg on the Danish side and the famous Sofiero Castle on the Swedish side form an interesting excursion of history and culture.
