A seductive brew of golden light, artisan studios and sleepy fishing villages, Skåne's
northwest coast is a perfect place to spend a few soothing days.

Höganäs
Gateway to the Kulla Peninsula, the coal-mining town of Höganäs (21km north of
Helsingborg) harbours a few cultural gems that are worth stopping for.
Sights
Pick up the free guide to Höganäs' impressive posse of public art, liberally sprinkled
around town, at the
Höganäs Tourist Office
. Two of the most entertaining works are a fam-
ily of pigs on Storgatan and a levitating dog on Köpmansgatan.
