Helsingborg - Old town, city center


Rådhuset, The Town Hall is the city´s most beautiful building in my opinion. It is 65m tall and was built in 1897.

The Town Hall.


Drottninggatan is the main road of Helsingborg and is situated between the sea and the hills. This road has
a bit of a "big city" feeling in contrary to the smaller side streets.

Stortorget, the main square.

Some street views:

A trend in Skåne is to place palms at open-air restaurants summertime.

Järnvägsgatan.


Gustav Adolfs kyrka, the tallest church in Helsingborg, is located at Gustav Adolfs Torg in Södercity.


Stadsparken, the most centrally located park of Helsingborg. It is situated on a hill that declines down to the waterfront.


St Jörgens Plats. A beautiful place with statues and bushes between the waterfront and the hills.

The theater can be seen to the left.


Hälsovägen is a beautiful road that is going in circles up to the hill. Öresundsparken at the top of the hill have these beautiful views.



This cool gothic building is a former school (Nicolaiskolan), converted to offices. It is situated on the hills east of the city center.

Sankta Maria Kyrka. I visited a baptism there. This gothic brick church was built in the 15th century. In the 1300s it was one of Denmark’s (!) oldest state churches.
