Helsingborg Port Ferry Overview
Helsingborg is situated at the east side of the Oresund on Sweden's south-west coast and is a locality and the seat of Helsingborg Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden. Helsingborg is Sweden's closest point to Denmark, with the Danish city Helsingor (Elsinore) clearly visible on the other side of the strait of Öresund about 4 km to the west. Historic Helsingborg has many old builings and is a scenic coastal city. The buildings are a blend of old-style stone-built churches and a medieval fortress in the city centre, which has stood guard in Helsingborg for over 600 years, and more modern commercial buildings.
As a centre of transport and trade, Helsingborg has superb advantages. It stands at an international crossroads, not only for road and rail ferry traffic going between Sweden and Denmark, but also for merchant ships between the Baltic Sea, Scandinavia and the rest of the world. Located in one of the most dynamic regions for industry and commerce in Sweden, its access to the road and rail arteries of Scandinavia is virtually instant.
Helsingborg is one of the busiest and best equipped ports in Scandinavia, handling both passenger and cargo traffic in a wide variety of forms. In recent times the Port has added cruise calls to its wide portfolio of activities. Being the natural link between Sweden and Denmark and the Continent, some 12-14 million passengers and more than two million cars, trucks and railway cars pass through the Port annually. |
