Ferries Puttgarden – Helsingborg

The Puttgarden–Helsingborg journey takes you from Germany’s Baltic island of Fehmarn to Sweden’s west coast via Denmark, rather than on a single direct ferry crossing. Puttgarden lies on Fehmarn’s northern shore, making it a geographically useful starting point for travelling north from Germany towards Sweden. The route involves a sea crossing to Rødby on the Danish island of Lolland, an overland journey through Denmark to Helsingør, and another crossing over the Øresund to Helsingborg. This gives the journey two distinct coastal arrivals, with a stretch of Danish countryside between them. Helsingborg brings you into north-western Skåne, well placed geographically for exploring southern Sweden or continuing north along the country’s western side.This route suits travellers who want to reach Sweden through Denmark and are comfortable including an overland section between the two sea passages. For booking purposes, the important distinction is that Puttgarden is your starting port and Helsingborg your final arrival port, not the opposite ends of one uninterrupted sailing. Your journey therefore needs to account for both crossings and the connecting travel across Denmark, rather than only the first departure from Germany. A return from Helsingborg to Puttgarden is a separate journey and should be considered separately from this northbound itinerary. Enquire about the complete Puttgarden-to-Helsingborg journey so that both sea crossings and the intervening land section are clear before you book.
