Stengade, Helsingør

Getting around: The main pedestrian street of Helsingør's old town, an easy walk from the train station and harbor.

Stengade is Helsingør's main pedestrian shopping street, lined with half-timbered and colorfully painted historic buildings that give the old town much of its visual character. It's a pleasant, compact street to wander for shopping, cafes, and a sense of the town beyond Kronborg Castle.

It's worth a short stroll while in Helsingør, easily combined with the nearby church and harbor sights, though it's a modest, local-feeling street rather than a major destination.
