Do you ever look up when you walk? 👀 Helsingborg’s architecture is a living timeline – from crooked half-timbered houses to bold modern icons. Here are five spots from different eras to explore on your next city stroll! ✨🌳 😃 🪵 Springpostgränden Tiny, crooked, and full of character. This alley is one of those places where history feels close enough to touch. Once home to Helsingborg’s first telegraph office, it has seen everything from horse carts to smartphones – all while staying charmingly photogenic. Don't miss the classic pub @telegrafenhelsingborg on the corner and the beautiful bay window on the second floor. 🍻 🏛️ Drottninggatan 57 An early-1900s beauty with Jugend influences, this building represents Helsingborg’s elegant growth period. Decorative details, tall windows, and a quiet confidence make it feel like it’s been watching city life unfold for over a century – and judging everyone gently. 🎨 Dunkers Culture House Designed by Danish architect Kim Utzon and opened in 2002, @dunkerskultur is part of Helsingborg’s modern cultural heart. Facing the sea, it looks calm, sculptural, and slightly castle-like. The little lookout on top? Less medieval defense tower, more perfect sunset and ferry-watching spot. 🏡 Norra Storgatan 9 (Gamlegård) One of Helsingborg’s oldest surviving half-timbered houses, dating back to the 1700s. In our version of the city, this is where @madame_moustache_hbg lives, writes mysterious letters, and absolutely knows everyone’s secrets (and serving some great food). It's also where Jean Baptiste stayed his first night when he came to France in 1810 to be King XIV Johan of Sweden. 👑 🌊 Redaregatan 41 As part of the Oceanhamnen development, this modern, copper-toned building feels like it belongs in a stylish sci-fi movie or perhaps on a steamboat heading over the Atlantic. With its rounded entrance and waterfront views, it represents Helsingborg as bold, bright, and slightly glamorous.💫 Where will you go for your next walk? #ExploreHelsingborg #VisitHelsingborg #citywalk #citystroll

Back To School! 📚📚Students are back at the university after Christmas break at Lund university Campus Helsingborg – an international meeting place where students arrive from different parts of the world and settle into a shared everyday rhythm. We are hanging out to hear more about student life in Helsingborg. ✨💫 Master’s student Erica grew up by the ocean in Melbourne and came to Sweden for work before deciding to stay for studies. She talks about winter lights, Lucia, beach life – and how local traditions feel easier to access than in bigger cities like Malmö or Copenhagen. She smiles; “We are a great community of international students. What I love about Helsingborg is how close everything is — the sea, the parks, the city. You don’t feel anonymous here.” 😃 Angel moved from Shanghai to study Service Management with a focus on sustainability as a step in search of a different pace of life in Scandinavia. “I wanted a place that values balance. Helsingborg feels calm and organized – but still very much a city.” Living on Söder, she speaks about kindness, community and the closeness to water. “In Chinese culture, water symbolizes both flow and prosperity. I feel that here.” 🌊🌊🌊 Erik took the train from hometown Gothenburg to study electrical engineering and enjoys Helsingborg for it’s smaller scale. “Student life here is tighter. You really get to know people.” He enjoys the walkable city “It’s a beautiful place.” After exams it’s not just about the Thursday student pub, a sauna and a dip in the sea is mandatory – all year around. 📸1: Erik from Gothenburg and Angel from Shanghai 📸2: Erica from Melbourne #VisitHelsingborg #ExploreHelsingborg # Helsingborg #studentlife #universitylife #CoastalLiving #peopleofhelsingborg #helsingborghumans #portraitsofacity #portrtaitsofhelsingborg @campushelsingborg
