Helsingør is a port and ferry town in the northeastern part of North Zealand and the gateway to the rest of Scandinavia. On the other side of Øresund, just five kilometers away is the Swedish city of Helsingborg, and with frequent ferry departures between the two cities, both cars and passengers are transported between the two countries.

Kronborg Royal Castle, which lies next to the harbor, is world-famous thanks to Shakespeare's play Hamlet and is an exciting place to visit in the city. In addition, the Maritime Museum is one of the city's major attractions and exciting for people of all ages.

The city is also full of specialty shops and food experiences, both local restaurants and cafes and the Værftets Food Market.
