>>DLL presents: HELSINGØR... and later HELSINGBORG - (Denmark and Sweden) <<

Hviid · March 17th, 2007, 09:45 PM

I went to Helsingør yesterday, which is a city located about 50km north of Copenhagen and has a population of around 62,000. The weather was so beautiful i couldn't keep myself locked inside. I haven't been to Helsingborg yet (i wanted to go yesterday but it was too late). I'm gonna get there later on, in a week or so (or whenever we get this good weather again) then im gonna post those pics in this thread, so remember to check up!

Anyway... for now it's Helsingør, so let's get going!

And we're there! (Damn that was fast...

)

Closer look at the station:

from another angle:

First thing you see when you get out of the station are the ferries going towards Helsingborg:

Here you can buy cheap tickets:

View of Helsingør, which is IMO a very "pretty" and typical danish-looking city:

Heja Sverige! (Hey Sweden!)

towards the city...

Yo what up Kronborg!

Kronborg Castle (also known as Hamlet's Castle, from Shakespeares "Hamlet")

Another ferry making it's way back to Helsingør (Denmark) from Helsingborg (Sweden):

New/modern train to Gilleleje:

The old one still runs (same destination):

Part 2 comming up in next post...

Part II

Some pretty homes can be found here:

Helsingør is one of the only cities in Denmark that actually has a high/tall landscape (in danish standard) with a nice view over part of the city:

Heja Sverige, (Hey Sweden) again

Here's Marienlyst Castle:

Funny thing happened here... The second after i took the following photo, a crazy man came up to me and started talking to me for 20 minutes... First he started talking about my camera, and how he used to go around taking pictures with a smart looking camera like mine, but then he ended up throwing it away because society wouldnt let him take pictures.. people in windows took their pants down and starting mooning him when he did (word by word, this is what he said (in danish of course) and somehow he ended up talking about when he was in the mental institution, how he hated taking medication, and how all the people there were only out to hurt him, and for hours and hours at a time he would lie there all alone in a room with the "jacket" on, and he kept going on and on and on... damn... after about 20 minutes i just told him i was busy and i walked away... he kept talking though... lol...

back to the photos...

Thanks for sharing these fantastic pics with us! What a nice place

Wow, really interesting and nice pictures.

We need more Danish cities in here. Only been to Copenhagen which is such a quality city.

parisuite · March 18th, 2007, 05:54 AM

Very nice pictures! I love Denmark

unoh · March 18th, 2007, 06:09 AM

so beautiful and peaceful....

I wanna live there....

South Korea is very crowded and busy....It's difficult to live in south korea..

In seoul, people over 10milion live in 605㎢.. It's terrible and painful

We are always under stress.

We must fight fiercely daily......

I hate this life..

I want to leave to scandinavia

I hope there is silent and gentle, peaceful..

I want to live to there...

Nice!

Thanks for the beautiful comments!

unoh> Denmark has one of the highest/best qualities of life on the planet, and Danes are (according to a british survey) the happiest people on the planet. So there must be something right, here

Helsingør (Elsingore in English) is a very beautiful and peaceful city. Sometimes it is crowded, but only by swedes and/or tourists

so it's okay.
