Helsingborg is a Swedish port city located in the Skåne region, on the Strait of Sund. It is only 4 kilometers from the Danish city of Helsingor, on the other side of the isthmus. Officially, Helsingborg was founded in 1081, making it one of the oldest cities in Sweden, although you should know that it originally belonged to Denmark. When visiting Helsingborg, you can immerse yourself a bit in the local history, but also have a nice time on the seashore or in one of several beautifully maintained parks.
Perhaps the city's most important monument is the Kärnan Tower, which is a remnant of a medieval fortress that once existed. The city's oldest church, the Marienkirche, with its historic altar and baptismal font, is worth a visit, as well as a stroll through the city's main square, Stortorget. A major attraction in Helsingborg is Tropikariet, a park with tropical animals and rainforest flora, and Fredriksdal Gardens showcasing mainly local flora surrounded by interesting thematic exhibitions, including historical and ethnographic ones. The Dunker Culture House art center is also worth a visit. In addition to the interesting exhibitions, the building itself is already noteworthy - it was designed by Kim Utzon, son of Jorn Utzon, the architect responsible for the design of the Sydney Opera House.
