#falladventures Autumn in Helsingborg transforms this coastal gem into a harvest haven. Start at Sofiero Palace Gardens, where rhododendrons glow in fiery reds amid illuminated paths—perfect for evening strolls. Climb Kärnan Tower for panoramic views of Øresund's golden foliage and Helsingør across the strait. Wander Kullagatan's cobblestones, Sweden's first pedestrian street, lined with half-timbered houses. Join Mikaeli Marknad at Fredriksdal Open-Air Museum for harvest fests, farm animals, and seasonal bites. Savor vineyard tours and cozy seafood in quieter harbors.

#falladventures The port in Helsingborg is right next to the center, so as soon as you step off the ferry, everything is within easy reach: seaside promenades, the beautiful City Hall building, squares, boutiques, and the city’s unmistakable symbol – Kärnan tower. A staircase surrounded by a park leads up to it, and the view from the top over the city and the sea is worth every step! The city is tidy, relaxed, perfect for a leisurely stroll and soaking up the atmosphere. Here are a few interesting facts about Helsingborg: 1. Kärnan tower dates back to the 14th century and was once part of a huge fortress that guarded the entrance to the Øresund Strait. 2. Sofiero Palace, just north of the center, has been named one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe – famous for its thousands of rhododendrons. 3. The Helsingør – Helsingborg ferry line is one of the busiest in Europe – it carries more than 20,000 people daily! 4. Due to its location, Helsingborg is often called the “gateway of Sweden to Europe”.

#hellohalloween #Helsingborg Helsingborg, one of Sweden’s oldest cities, traces its origins to around 800 AD as a Viking Age fishing village by the Øresund. Here are must-see highlights of its 800-year history: - Kärnan Fortress: The last standing tower of a 14th-century castle, offering panoramic views of the Øresund Strait. - Sofiero Palace & Gardens: A royal summer residence with stunning gardens, hosting cultural events. - Dunkers Kulturhus: A modern cultural center with art, history exhibits, and Helsingborg’s Viking past. - Fredriksdal Museums & Gardens: An open-air museum showcasing 18th-century life and local heritage. - Rådhuset (City Hall): A neo-Gothic masterpiece with a 65-meter tower, built in 1897. - Öresund Coastline: Walk the scenic promenade, a hub of trade since the Viking era. - Kullagatan: Sweden’s first pedestrian street, lined with shops and historic charm.

#mytraveldiary Helsingborg—where medieval history meets modern Scandinavian cool—is even more captivating the second time around. Perched on the Öresund Strait, this city blends cobblestone charm, seaside vibes, and a laid-back energy that’s perfect for solo travelers looking to slow down and soak it all in. My Solo Itinerary (Encore Edition): · Morning – Kärnan Tower & Coffee Culture: Climbed the historic Kärnan Tower (again!) for panoramic views of the strait and Denmark’s coast. This time, I lingered longer, sketching the view and enjoying the quiet morning light. Then, wandered to Stortorget for fika at a cozy café—think cardamom buns and rich coffee. · Afternoon – Maritime Walks & Hidden Gardens: Strolled along the North Harbour (Norra Hamnen), admiring sleek boats and modern architecture. Revisited the Fredriksdal Open-Air Museum and botanical gardens, picnicking among blooming flowers and historic buildings. Explored the Sofiero Palace gardens (especially if visiting in spring for the rhododendron festival). · Evening – Sunset Views & Seafood Supper: Watched the sunset from Tropical Beach or the Dunkers Kulturhus terrace. Treated myself to a seafood dinner at a waterfront restaurant—think smoked salmon or shrimp sandwiches—with views of passing ferries and twinkling lights. Why Helsingborg Shines for Solo Travelers (Again!): · Easy & Safe: Walkable, clean, and incredibly safe—ideal for solo exploration. · Ferry Fun: Took a quick ferry to Helsingør, Denmark (home of Hamlet’s Kronborg Castle) for a spontaneous international day trip. · Local Vibe: Less touristy than Stockholm or Gothenburg, with a friendly, small-town feel. · Seasonal Beauty: Visited in summer for long, golden evenings or in autumn for crisp air and colorful foliage. Helsingborg is that rare blend of history, nature, and hygge—a city that feels both timeless and effortlessly cool. --- Hashtags: #BackToHelsingborg #SwedenTravel #SoloScandinavia #CoastalVibes #NordicSlowTravel

8:10am Picked up my checked luggage 8:20am Monetka bought her train ticket (the airport trolley can be pushed all the way from the luggage carousel, through immigration, to the ticket machine, up the elevator, and downstairs to the train platform). 8:37am I packed my luggage and boarded the train to Helsingborg C (Helsingborg residents ⚠️ should check the train schedule and wait for a train passing through Helsingborg). 9:51am Arrived at Helsingborg C train station (the video shows the route times, but it's roughly half an hour from CPH Airport to Malmö, another quarter hour to Lund, and another half an hour to Helsingborg. If you're hungry, Helsingborg C is the best choice. There's a McDonald's and a milk tea shop right outside C Train Station. Take the bus 1-3 stops to the Furu/Bry dormitory (scan the QR code to get on any door, and ring the bell one stop before getting off. If the screen shows the stop in red, it means the driver knows to stop; otherwise, they'll just drive past. Also, if the door doesn't open at your stop, manually press the round button. You can walk there on weekdays, but if you have heavy luggage and a train ticket, you'll need to wait until 4 a.m. the next day to catch all the Herborg buses.) Get off the bus at 10:10 a.m. and walk for 5 minutes with your suitcase to the dormitory building! (I hadn't picked up my suitcase yet, so I had to follow others.)

Explored Helsingborg and it was soo amazing!! Swedish architecture is so beautiful. Sweden also have many castles around, including Helsingborg! I paid 80SEK to explore Känan, a swedish castle in Helsingborg, and it was no disappointment at all! Totally worth the visit! The view is spectacular at the top of the tower, with a free binoculars for you to look over to Copenhagen as well! Do visit Helsingborg if you have the time!

#外游 The beautiful Swedish city of Helsingborg Today we took a train from Halmstad and drove for nearly two hours to another city, Helsingborg, which is the closest point in Sweden to Denmark, across the Oresund Strait and the Danish city of Helsingor. There are many old buildings here, with a long history, and it is a seaside scenic spot. The city's architecture is old style, with stone-built churches, city center boundaries and more modern commercial buildings mixed together. There are many types of streets, from wide avenues to narrow paths. Our hotel is in the city center, which is very convenient to various attractions. After putting down our luggage, we wandered around the nearby attractions until after 8 o'clock in the evening before going to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
