Short answer

The ferry between Helsingborg and Helsingør takes 20 minutes, and departures run every 20 minutes most of the day, according to Öresundslinjen. The ferries sail around the clock. Foot passenger check-in closes 3 minutes before departure, so arrive in good time. A Lågpris car ticket is valid one hour before and after the booked departure.
