Sofiero Palace was, until the 1970s, a summer residence for Swedish royalty. The magnificent heritage of thousands of rhododendrons, beds, borders and kitchen gardens is carefully tended by a team of dedicated experts. In 2010, Sofiero was voted Europe’s Best Park.Sofiero is situated just north of the town of Helsingborg in southern Sweden. Interesting exhibitions in the palace and a variety of exciting events and activities in the beautiful park and gardens are some of the things you can look forward to when planning your visit. The season, during which the palace, shops, restaurant and café are open for visitors, starts March 31 and ends in September. However, you are welcome to visit Sofiero for a guided tour, a walk in the park and a chance to enjoy the view over the strait of Öresund to Denmark at any time of the year.

Welcome to Fredriksdal museums and gardens Nowhere in Europe will you find an equivalent to Fredriksdal. This is Skåne in miniature, with 360,000 square metres of unique settings, buildings and gardens. Here, the history and diversity of the countryside are caringly kept alive. With its museums and gardens, Fredriksdal offers interesting activities for all ages, all year round. Take an explanatory walk, watch the animals grazing or join the manor maids for an interesting tour. Buy a bag of old fashioned sweets in the old town quarter, or your favourite rose in the flower shop. Find answers to your questions on nature or folklore, or just lie back and relax in a hammock. With its historical parks and gardens, houses and farms, animals, meadows, woods and pastures, all situated around an eighteenth century manor house, a visit to Fredriksdal is like making a journey back into the past.

"We didn't know about this option when we were fist visiting Helsingborg, but when we found out how short the trip was from Sweden to Denmark from the ferry port we decided to just go to Helsingør for dinner one night. Helsingør is a much "older" feeling city than Helsingborg, so it's worth going ove..."r just to take a look. The ferries run just about every 15 minutes plus the ferries aren't expensive. Buy the tickets as a duo/family on your jojo card if you're travelling with a partner at the train ticket machines in the main lobby if the train station and save a few bucks.

"After transfer to shore by tender from our cruise ship, we promptly found a foreign currency exchange office where we purchased krona, the local Swedish currency, in order to facilitate our activities in Helsingborg. Then we began to explore this delightful..." city.

It represents an eclectic mixture of cultural pursuits and as one might expect, many exhibitions are on display. Foremost among them is modern art, but architecture is also prominently represented, as are other disciplines. Innovative spaces are provided within the center to encourage and sup...

"We stumbled upon this landmark on our walk down from our airbnb to the train station. The tower can be climbed ( we didn't do this ) and then the town appears from under the arches in front of the tower. If you're coming from the harbor below, make the climb up, it's worth the view."
