HÖGANÄS:



With only 13 550 inhabitants Höganäs is one of the smallest incorporated cities in Skåne.

Despite it is considered a city and is located by the sea, it feels very small and dead.

For example there are only 1 or 2 small restaurants in the center and no department store, that is unusual even for towns in Sweden.
