About Helsingborg:

Helsingborg is known as the Pearl of the Sound, a town striving to be continental and something else than the rest of Sweden. Partially thanks to the town’s great benefactor, Henry Dunker, there are plenty of opportunities to take part in cultural activities. A theater, an internationally acclaimed Symphonhy Orchestera and a brand new cultural centre. Located by the sea the town strecthes out along the coast and has historically been the gateway to Denmark and the rest of Europe since it is only 4 km of water between Helsingborg and its Danish sister city Helsingør. Today with strong competition from the bridge in Malmö three different boat companies together have a departure every ten minutes or so to Denmark. Helsingborg is known for the Kärnan Tower, the remainder of a medieval fortress. It is also known for the Sofiero Castle, with its rhododendron gardens, and the Fredriksdal outdoor museum. During the summer there are daily boat connections from the Råå part of Helsingborg to the little and culturally rich island of Ven.

If you feel the warm, soft sand underneath your feet and gaze over one of the busiest sounds in the world, Öresund, you have ended up in Helsingborg. The ferries to Denmark live a life of their own 24 hours a day, and the Öresund bridge linking you to the continent is not far off. Many people want to live, work and study here and Helsingborg is one of the fastest growing cities in Sweden.

Helsingborg's vision is to become both the most attractive town in Sweden and to provide a comprehensive and good service throughout the life of each inhabitant. High quality in harmony with nature is the key concept. To reach this goal, Helsingborg strives to provide a good platform for trade and industry while strengthening its environmental profile and its identity as an attractive cultural and tourist town.

Helsingborg has a population of close to 118,000 inhabitants and is thereby Sweden's 9th biggest community. About 85,000 people reside in the town itself. For many years Helsingborg was just a small town, but thanks to the railways and a new harbour a strong expansion took place around the middle of the 19th century. Helsingborg is situated at the narrowest part of the strait between Sweden and Denmark and the distance across the water to Helsingör in Denmark is not more than 4km. Helsingborg is a trading centre, the harbour is the second largest in the country and the European highways E4 and E6 cross one another just outside the town.
