Living here
Experience a simpler everyday
In Helsingborg, life feels a little simpler. Everything you need is within 20 minutes—nature, schools, work and the continent. You can skip long traffic jams and get around easily by bike or on foot. This is a city that invests in the future and innovation. There’s a wide choice of schools and preschools, offering different teaching styles and focuses. New businesses get started every day, and for commuters, transportation options are excellent.
Work you can walk to, dinner in town, an evening dip in the sea—that’s quality of life in Helsingborg.
Raised by the sea
Childhood in Helsingborg means growing up close to nature and the sea. Whether you live in the city centre or on the outskirts, there are endless opportunities for adventure. Education standards are high, and there’s a wide range of children’s clubs and activities, supported by excellent facilities.
A region full of surprises
North-west Skåne is a land of experiences that stay with you. From the flavours of the region’s produce, specialties, and thriving vineyards, to the green of its golf courses and charm of its fishing villages. From bustling city centres to the slower countryside of castles and farmer markets. And from its dramatic cliffs and white sandy beaches, to Ven with its rolling fields, and Söderåsen National Park, where deep valleys and leafy forests invite both contemplation and adventure.
Why they love it, in their own words—people who’ve lived in Helsingborg all their lives, and others who chose to move here.
