✨ Sweden has almost 270,000 islands – more than any other country in the world! But did you know three islands and two beautiful peninsulas are just outside Helsingborg? Here are five coastal gems to explore this spring or summer. 🌿🚲🌊 1. Sandön Just outside the village of Utvälinge, a 300-metre pier leads to Sandön, a tiny island made entirely of sand. Half the island is a protected nature reserve with rich birdlife, open to visitors from mid-April to mid-October. Shallow waters and wide sandy shores make it perfect for swimming and picnics. 🌊🏝️ 2. Ven In the middle of the Öresund strait lies Ven, a small island known for its rolling landscapes and iconic yellow rental bikes. Only 4.5 km long, it’s perfect to explore in a day — past wheat fields, farm shops and quiet beaches. Don’t miss the historic observatory of Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. 🚲🌾 @helsingborgven 3. Hallands Väderö Just outside Torekov lies Hallands Väderö, a peaceful island nature reserve reached by boat in summer. Here you’ll find leafy forests, smooth granite cliffs and small sandy coves with crystal-clear water. Keep an eye out for seals resting on the sun-warmed rocks along the shore. 🦭🌿 @hallandsvadero 4. Kullahalvön North of Helsingborg stretches Kullahalvön, a peninsula where dramatic landscapes meet charming coastal villages. Discover fishing harbours like Mölle and Arild, the ceramics town of Höganäs and the spectacular cliffs of Kullaberg Nature Reserve. ⛰️🌊 @kullahalvoncom 5. Bjärehalvön Further north, Bjärehalvön offers a beautiful mix of coastline, small towns and open countryside. Visit Norrviken Gardens, walk along scenic coastal trails or stop in Båstad and Torekov for local food with sea views. 🌿🌊 @upplevbjare Which one would you visit first? 🌊 #visithelsingborg #helsingborg #swedishislands #skåne

🍷✨ “We didn’t move to Italy – we built a vineyard at home instead. 🍇 That’s how Tina Berthelsen, founder of Lottenlund Estate, describes the moment everything changed. In 2010, standing on a balcony in Tuscany 🇮🇹 overlooking rolling hills and endless vines, her husband said, “This is how we should live.” Tina answered, “I’m not moving to Italy.” So they stayed in Skåne and planted 45,000 vines in their backyard instead. 🌱 Today, just outside Helsingborg, the dream is real. Close to Öresund 🌊 (which protects the vines from spring frost, evening out the temperature), guests can walk through the vineyard, visit the winery and taste the wine where it’s produced. “It’s never just about the taste,” Tina says. “It’s about the moment and the togetherness.” Long tastings, celebrations, golden harvest light 🍇✨ and memories that last. We have a lot of guests coming for birthdays, bringing several generations." Book your vineyard experience this spring @lottenlundestate and discover more about the new exciting wine region in Sweden @terraskane 🍇✨ See you in the golden light! ☀️🍷 #Helsingborg #VisitHelsingborg #terraskåne #wine #vineyard #peopleofhelsingborg #peopleportraits
