A border town steeped in history, Helsingborg has reinvented itself as a lively destination with great shopping and a few landmarks.

Helsingborg is a town in Skåne County, Sweden. Historic Helsingborg, with its many old buildings, is a scenic coastal city. The buildings are a blend of old-style stone-built churches and a 600 year old medieval fortress in the city centre with more modern commercial buildings. Kullagatan, the main pedestrian shopping street in the city, was the first pedestrian shopping street in Sweden.
