ms Rotterdam Cruise Review
Helsingborg, Sweden
Our first port of call was the attractive Swedish city of
Helsingborg
on the øresund, the strait that separates
Denmark from Sweden on the shipping route between the North Sea and the Baltic.
Helsingborg has a population of about 90,000 and
is a quick ferry ride from the Danish city of Helsingør, a.k.a. "Elsinore,"
where Kronburg--the castle featured in Shakespeare's Hamlet--is a big draw with
visitors.
Although ms Rotterdam offered shore
excursions to Helsingør and other attractions, we were content to stay in
Helsingborg (which we'd visited before) during Rotterdam's short visit.
