Helsingborg is a young and modern student city on the southwest coast of Sweden. In Helsingborg the sea is never far away. Salty spray and sand between your toes are part of everyday life during the summer months. In Helsingborg, there are always student activities just around the corner. In addition, Lund's student life is only a half hour train journey away.

A growing city with opportunities

There are many opportunities to meet and make new friends whether you prefer to go to a student lounge to relax and party, sing in a choir, see an exhibition, join a sports team, volunteer at the student radio or perform in the theatre or join in other student events.

Many people want to live, work and study here and Helsingborg is one of the fastest growing cities in Sweden. Helsingborg has a population of close to 145 000 inhabitants and is thereby Sweden's 9th biggest community. About 108 000 people reside in the town itself.

Culture and entertainment

A stone's throw from the sea you'll find the architecturally celebrated areas of Norra Hamnen and Dunkers Kulturhus. Here you'll find art and history exhibitions, music, theatre and restaurants.

Close to Dunkers you'll find Helsingborg's concert hall with its own symphony orchestra and Helsingborg's city theatre with several stages. If you'd like to dance, go to a concert or maybe see stand-up comedy, then Helsingborg is the city for you.

The shopping district starts from the Kullagatan pedestrian precinct in the centre including its adjacent side streets and stretches to the city's centre in the south around Gustav Adolf Torg. Don't miss all the city's restaurants and cafés. Outside the city you'll find the Väla modern shopping centre with a large number of shops. There is also an IKEA here, the big furnishing store.
