The Swedish town of Helsingborg, strategically situated at the narrowest part of the Öresund (here only 4.5km/3mi wide) opposite the Danish town of Helsingør (Elsinore), was for centuries hotly disputed between Denmark and Sweden. The town first appears in the records in 1085, and it received its municipal charter in 1649. It is now a busy port, commercial and industrial town, a favored center for conferences and trade fairs, and Sweden's main channel of communication by sea with Denmark and mainland Europe. There are plans to build a bridge over the Öresund.
Historic Helsingborg has many old houses, a mixture of stone-built churches, small alleyways and a fortress, which has guarded the town for 600 years.
