Helsingborg - is a city in Skåne County in the southernmost part of Sweden, which has a population of 91,457 (2005).
Helsingborg is Sweden's closest point to Denmark, with the Danish city Elsinore Helsingør) clearly visible on the other side of the strait of Öresund about 4 km to the west. Three ferry companies take people and cargo to and from Denmark around the clock. The route is popular with day-trippers going to Elsinore or Copenhagen, or simply enjoying the views from the ferries. IKEA, the retailer of furniture and home interiors, has its international corporate headquarters in Helsingborg. Nicorette the nicotine chewing gum has a manufacturing plant here. Ramlösa is a mineral water from the southern part of the city.
Historically, the astronomer Tycho Brahe is born here. He is one of the founders of modern helio centric theory of the universe.
Historic Helsingborg, with its many old houses, is a scenic coastal city. The buildings are a blend of old-style stone-built churches and a fortress (Kärnan) in the centre, and more modern commercial buildings. The streets vary from wide avenues to small alley-ways.
