Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Despite the name, the airport is much closer to Ängelholm, about 6-7 km away, than to Helsingborg, which is 35 km away and requires a 30-45 minute transfer by Flygbuss or car. Those with an early morning flight or a short layover do better to stay in Ängelholm; those looking for a bigger city, with the ferry to Denmark and richer nightlife, should head for Helsingborg, accepting a longer transfer.

Ängelholm

Nearby town · About 6-7 km from the airport, 10 minutes by car or taxi.

Best for: Early morning departures or short layovers, when it's worth staying a few minutes from the airport.

Pros

Compact centre of Ängelholm, with shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel

A small town, with much less to do in the evening compared with Helsingborg
No direct rail link: for Helsingborg a car or regional bus is still needed
