Helsingborg ['hɛlsiŋ'bɔrj] is a municipality (population 117,737) and city in Scania in southernmost Sweden. It is at the point in Sweden closest to Denmark and to the Danish city of Elsinore, across the strait of Öresund. Which is connect by three different boat companies.
Helsingborg has an adequate nightlife, and good bands tend to periodically play at the club "The Tivoli" (not to be confused with Tivoli in Copenhagen). It's not much for shoppers, but you can find the basics. Sofiero was one of the royal family's country mansions back at the turn of the 20th century, and holds some very large gardens with a wide range of local (and other) plantlife, stretching down right to the shore.
