Where to stay in Råå
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Stay by the water. Råå offers a quiet coastal base in the south-eastern part of Helsingborg, beds within reach of the Øresund shore and the Råå museum för fiske och sjöfart for those who want the harbour rather than the centre of the city in south-western Sweden. If the strait, the small museums, and Allhelgonakyrkan draw you, this fishing quarter suits, the heart of Helsingborg a short ride north.

About Råå
What are the main landmarks in Råå?
The sea sets the theme. Råå museum för fiske och sjöfart and Råå fiske- och sjöfartsmuseum hold the fishing past of this south-eastern corner of Helsingborg, while Brandkårsmuseet keeps the firefighting story and Allhelgonakyrkan stands over the harbour quarter in south-western Sweden. Raus stenkärlsfabrik recalls the stoneware trade.
The vessel Dagmar belongs to the same maritime tale. Small museums, a long shore.
What is the history of Råå?
Fishing made this place. Råå grew as a fishing and seafaring harbour on the Øresund long before Helsingborg reached south-east to take it in, and that trade is kept in the Råå museum för fiske och sjöfart and the older Råå fiske- och sjöfartsmuseum across south-western Sweden. Allhelgonakyrkan rose to serve the parish, and Raus stenkärlsfabrik once turned out stoneware here.
The harbour quarter became a district of the city.
Where is Råå?
The strait runs alongside. Råå sits in the south-eastern part of Helsingborg, an old fishing quarter pressed against the Øresund where the coast of Helsingborg Municipality faces the water that separates this part of Skåne from Denmark. The district keeps to the shore.
