VISITING SWEDEN Goteborg Helsingborg
Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborg (help·info)) /jœte'bɔrj/) is a city and municipality in the province Västergötland on the west-coast of Sweden. As of 2006, the population amounted to 490,000 in the actual city and 879,000 in the metropolitan area, making it the second largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm. Gothenburg is also a significant university city with Scandinavia's largest university in terms of number of students. Situated where the Göta Älv discharges into the Kattegat, the river divides Gothenburg in two halves, with the upper part located on the island Hisingen. The inlet of Göta Älv is well suited for a harbor, and Gothenburg has expanded its port into becoming the largest among the Nordic countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goteborg Helsingborg From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Helsingborg City arms 56° 03´ N, 12° 43´ E Charter 11th century Municipality Helsingborg Municipality County Skåne County Province Scania (Skåne) Population 101,640 (2006) Helsingborg ['hɛlsiŋ'bɔrj] is located in the southernmost part of Sweden, called Skåne, and has a population of 101,600. It is the seat of Helsingborg Municipality, which has 122,000 inhabitants. Helsingborg Municipality is the ninth largest Municipality in Sweden due to its relatively small areal size. Helsingborg is the city center of about 300,000 people in the region. This effectively makes Helsingborg the fourth largest city in Sweden. Helsingborg is Sweden's closest point to Denmark, with the Danish city Elsinore (Helsingør) clearly visible on the other side of the strait of Öresund. Historic Helsingborg, with its many old houses, is a scenic coastal city. The buildings are a blend of old-style stone-built churches and a fortress (Kärnan) in the centre, and more modern commercial buildings. The streets vary from wide avenues to small alley-ways. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsingborg
