Helsingborg (Sweden) photos

We arrive in Helsingborg (Sweden) from Helsingor (Denmark) by ferry which took approximately 20 minutes. Basically, we spent our Saturday on these 2 places. Chocolates are really cheap there and I bought a lot of them. :) Some things in the supermarket are also cheaper than in Denmark and I'm happy to find chick peas there. :)

Warring Swedish and Danish armies passed Helsingborg back and forth 12 times in the 17th century. By the time Magnus Stenbock captured the town for the Swedes once and for all in 1710, most of it lay in shambles. It wasn't until the 19th century that Helsingborg regained affluence.

I will upload photos of Malmo and Lund (Sweden) soon because I need to do other work now :)

Here are the photos.
