 The Tourist booth and bike
lending by Rojo72
They only ask some kind of proof of identity (not sure what goes and what doesn't but your Passport number and name would probably do) and then you can use it for as long as you like during that day. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

 Karlstad Central Station by Rojo72
Tickets can be purchased from the national railway line, SJ.
The train station is situated right in the city centre, a short walk from hotels like Plaza, Comfort Inn, Stadshotellet and many others. With a minutes walk you are right on teh shopping street in Karlstad and with even a shorter walk you'll reach the first pub, The Woolpack Inn. (See a nightlife tip for that).
You should also take a minute or two to admire the architecture of the station itself, which is one of the prettier buildings in the city. Leave a Comment

 city bus in Karlstad by Rojo72
The local buses that cover Karlstad and it's different local urban areas (such as Kronoparken with the University, Norrstrand and Våxnäs which are all part of the main Karlstad) but not outer urban areas like Ulvsby or Molkom some 10-20 km away all start at the main square and goes circlewise. All buses heading to the eastern parts of the city start at the NORTH side of the square facing east and all those heading to the western parts of the city starts on the SOUTH side heading west.
The are large digital boards telling you when your bus will be arriving. There are far more buses during mon-fri from about 6 AM to abput 7 PM than the rest of the time.
The regional buses all start at the main bus terminal in Karlstad, which can be found at the west end of Drottninggatan. There is a stop for some of the local buses there too. It would take about 10-15 minutes to walk in a normal pace between the two starting points.
All the timetables for these buses, as well as for the local buses in nearby cities such as Kristinehamn can be reach through the web site provided. Leave a Comment

 The museum seen from the
southeast by Rojo72
The Museum of Värmland has been elected "Museum of the year 2005" in Sweden***
As mentioned on my home page the Museum of Värmland is one of the more famous attractions in Karlstad. It consists of two buildings, the older one very old and the new one built in the 1990's. There is an aisle indoors between the two.
In the new building you will find the standing exhibition of the history of Värmland, called "I the herule" after an scripture mentioning the herules "I am the herule, I write runes" or something like that. The exhibition covers all of Värmland's history from the oldest mesolithic and neolithic stone age to today. You will find stone axes, bronze swords, old garments and some things from a typical home in Karlstad or Värmland in the 1950's or so, just to mention a very few things.
The new Building also hosts all "come and go"-exhibitions, different from month to month.
In the new building you will find the art exhibitions.
Entrance is 40 SEK per adult. Leave a Comment Address: Sandgrundsudden, central KarlstadDirections: Straight north from the city square towards the river.Website: http://www.varmlandsmuseum.se

 The stone bridge, completed in
1797. by Rojo72
For the moment only city buses may cross the bridge, but there is talk about opening it for pedestrians. And even if it isn't it's still worth watching (and maybe secretly walk over...) and a sure thing for your photo album Leave a Comment Directions: Estern river branch, between Hagaborg and Haga

 Alster's Manor by Rojo72
He had a harsh life, never any luck with love and was always somewhat mentally ill.
The manor still stands in its original place in beautiful green surroundings a few miles from central Karlstad. I'll put some photos of it online soon!
Open:

May-Aug: Daily 11-18.
Entrance fee: To the guidance of the manor on Saturdays at 14.00 hours 40SEK, the rest of the manor free of charge.
Apart from going by car as described below you may also want to go by bicycle, there's a very pretty gravel and dirt-track path to the manor, about 5 km. Leave a Comment

 The Karlstad Theatre by Rojo72
They give nationwide famous sets of well-known plays and musicals. This automn they will show "West side story" for example.
This theatre could be considered the more "upper-level" theatre in town, as opposed to Scala theatre which hosts more "light" entertainment and plays, such as comedies, music events and cabarets. Leave a Comment Address: SandbäcksgatanDirections: Just beside the west bridge on Sandbäcksgatan
