Activities

Kärnan -The Helsingborg Castle. The walls are 4 metres thick. For two centuries, Kärnan was very important as a part of the strategic defence of Denmark. In addition, Helsingborg was one of the more important towns in the Danish kingdom. However, in the 16th century when the construction of the Kronborg Royal Palace began, Kärnan lost some of its importance until a hundred years later when the wars between Sweden and Denmark broke out. "Jordbodalen" is a small zoo, housing our most common animals. Next to this little park you have ''Sundspärlan'', Helsingborg's leisure park. An exciting place for the children is ''Tropikariet''. Here they can watch different kinds of snakes, crocodiles, sharks and lizards in the warm tropical climate.

Adventures

You can take an exciting fishing tour in Oresund, go diving, sailing or surfing. If you like soccer you can watch HIF (the soccer team in Helsingborg) play at Olympia stadium. Golfing enthusiasts can choose between almost 30 golfcourses in the surrounding neighbourhood. In the summertime you can enjoy the beaches. There are also two indoor swimmingpools.

Shopping

Helsingborg has a large selection of shops. You can choose from a varied collection. The most important shopping street is Kullagatan at the northern end of the city. At the southern end you will find our new shopping centre ''Söderpunkten''
