My Second Visit to Beautiful Scandinavia, drove from Almhult Sweden to Helsingborg.
From Helsingborg Sweden I took the ferry to Helsingor (Danish) or Elsinore (English Name), 20 minute ride by ferry and the ferry runs all day long. The ferry was packed with Swedes going to Denmark to buy Cheaper Alcohol
Kronborg Castle is a UNESCO's World Heritage Site and the main attraction in Helsingor, it is the castle of Shakespeare's Play Hamlet
