Review:
Just across the Öresund Strait from Denmark is Helsingborg, a medieval city home to a lovely waterfront and immense castle ruins. Its historic importance lies in the fact that it served as a first line of defense from Danish troops throughout a long and bloody history of conflict. The preserved Karnan Tower is a testament to this history, and a trip up its many stairs will reward guests with a grand view. Today, visitors to Helsingborg can experience the exhibits and listen to concerts at Dunker’s Culture House, walk among wild animals at Tropikariet, explore the castle and gardens at Sofiero Slott, or have dinner on one of the Swedish ferries, traditionally known as “Tura.”
