XYH is a code associated with Helsingborg, a city on the west coast of Skane in southern Sweden. Although styled as an airport code, it refers to the city's central railway station, part of a combined terminal that also serves ferries and buses. Helsingborg sits on the narrowest point of the Oresund strait, looking directly across the water to the Danish town of Helsingor, with frequent car and passenger ferries linking the two in around twenty minutes. The city has an attractive waterfront, a lively centre, and its landmark Karnan, a medieval brick keep on the hill that is all that remains of a once-mighty castle, with fine views over the strait. Nearby lies the palace and gardens of Sofiero. Helsingborg is reached by train from Malmo, Gothenburg and Copenhagen and by the ferry from Denmark. The climate is mild for Scandinavia, with cool summers and chilly winters.

Frequently asked questions

What is XYH?
XYH is a code linked to Helsingborg, a city on the southwest coast of Sweden. Rather than an airport, it refers to the city's central station, a combined terminal for trains, buses and the ferries across to Denmark. Helsingborg is reached by train from Malmo, Gothenburg and Copenhagen and by ferry from Helsingor.
What is Helsingborg known for?
Helsingborg is known for its position on the narrow Oresund strait, facing the Danish town of Helsingor across the water, and for the Karnan, a medieval brick tower on the hill above the city. It has a pleasant waterfront and centre, and the nearby Sofiero palace and gardens are a popular attraction.
Can you take a ferry to Denmark?
Yes. Frequent car and passenger ferries cross the Oresund strait between Helsingborg and the Danish town of Helsingor, home of Kronborg castle, in around twenty minutes. It is one of the busiest and shortest international ferry routes in the region, and a popular, easy day trip between the two countries.
How do you get to Helsingborg?
Helsingborg is reached by train from Malmo and the Oresund region, from Gothenburg to the north, and from Copenhagen via Malmo, all arriving at the central station. The ferry from Helsingor in Denmark also lands in the city centre, and roads connect it to the wider Skane region.
