Use the passenger terminal
Follow the foot-passenger signs in Helsingør and allow time for the terminal and boarding. Öresundslinjen operates the short crossing. Check your departure and the applicable passenger deadline.
Choose the correct product
Select Helsingør to Helsingborg, the number of people and whether you are returning. Do not use an advertised fare in the opposite direction as a guaranteed price for this ticket. A vehicle booking and a foot-passenger booking have different totals.
Walk into Helsingborg
The arrival is beside the central transport area. Leave room before any onward train, and check the station boards after disembarking. For an overnight visit, reach your accommodation before heading uphill with bags.
Plan the arrival
The Helsingør guide and Helsingborg guide explain the local journeys, places to stay and visits. Add the main travel ticket separately to your daily spending plan. The distance above is a straight-line comparison between the city centres; your train, road or flight route can be longer.
