This picturesque coastal city offers a delicious mix of architecture, culture, traditional cuisine and a somewhat unusual sight for Sweden, a tropical beach, complete with palm trees. Renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in the heart of Helsingborg is the perfect way to enjoy all that this incredible city has to offer.

An idyllic way to spend a few hours is to pay a visit to Sofiero Castle and her lovely grounds. Take a leisurely stroll through the spectacular gardens, lose yourself in the maze of hedges, admire the vibrant flower beds and productive vegetable plots and then wander inside the castle for a drink in the café before browsing the gallery of modern art that is also housed here. A wonderfully relaxing afternoon.

One of the oldest cities in Sweden, Helsingborg offers plenty of ancient architecture, from the old stone churches to the 14th century, medieval fortress, Karnan, situated in the city’s centre. Climb up to the top of this structure and enjoy some simply fantastic views.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Helsingborg also gives you access to Fredriksdal open air museum. This intriguing museum boasts some delightful old Swedish houses, gorgeous botanical gardens, an interesting printing museum and a theatre. A great way to spend a couple of hours.

A stroll around the city will provide some interesting sights, from Ramlosa Brunnspark, a 300 year old park that is home to a mineral water spring, to the pretty harbour where you can get a drink at one of the waterfront cafes and just enjoy the view. Walk a bit further and you will come to the palm fringed tropical beach. The palm trees are only here from May until August and then they are tucked back into their cosy greenhouses until the sun comes out the following year. This popular beach also has a children’s play area and a beach bar where you can grab a snack and something to drink.

Tropikariet is a small zoo which allows it’s animal residents to roam free, a refreshing change from seeing miserable, caged animals. A pleasant place to spend the afternoon and the kids will just love it.
