After a short trip over the Øresund from Helsingborg to Helsingør in Denmark, the round trip is finished.
Authentic Swedish Fika
Fika is a coffee break, a time for relaxing with a cup of coffee and something sweet. It is more than just a break though, Fika is part of Sweden’s food culture and lifestyle. Contact us for more information on including this experience in your itineraries.
