Helsingborg is the 9th largest city in Sweden, located in the South (otherwise known as Skåne). A city of barely 100,000, it is worth seeing as it boasts excellent architectural wonders like Rådhuset and Kärnan, great beaches and ports that can whisk you to Helsingør, Denmark, and wonderful manor grounds at Sofiero. The island of Ven is also a popular day trip for many of the residents here.

You can make your way to Sweden’s 3rd largest city by train from anywhere in the country, even from Copenhagen airport in Denmark (by taking a train across the Øresund Bridge). You'll likely need a whole weekend here to see sights like the Turning Torso, Malmö Castle and Konsthall, the Malmö City Library, Lomma Beach, Gamla Väster, Möllevången, Steinstrand, and Lilla torg (among others!).

The Swedish University town of Lund is a favorite among students. Its close proximity to Malmö (and Copenhagen) make it a very accessible city that still possesses a charming, small town feel. Be sure to check out Lund University, Kulturen, Stadsparken, Lundagård, the All Saints Church, and Lund Cathedral on your visit to this city in Skåne county in the South of Sweden.
