Helsingør's position at the narrowest crossing of the Øresund — just a few kilometres from Helsingborg in Sweden — gives it strong natural ventilation from the strait, offsetting emissions from ferry traffic and the busy cross-border terminal. Air quality here typically ranks favourably against Copenhagen's more built-up districts.
