yvgr Says: If you have an intrest in old city sights I suggest you can visit Karlstads old cemetery if you plan to cross over the Old stone bridge (Östra bron) to Norrstrand. It was take in use in the year of 1800 and many prominent people from the area has their final rest here.
yvgr Says: Just like in many other places in Wermland County a statue of author and Nobelprize winner Selma Lagerlöf can be found here. She never lived in Karlstad, but the city is present in several works. A statue of Selma can be found close to Karlstad's Theatre, by the seaside of...
yvgr Says: Klarälven ("The clear river" in Swedish) is a river flowing through Norway and Sweden. Together with Göta älv, which it is called as the river has passed through the lake Vänern, thus regarded as an entity, Göta älv-Klarälven is the longest river in Scandinavia and in the...

Cellen: Best lunch restaurant in Karlstad
Katrinarpi Says: This is with no doubt the best lunch restaurant in Karlstad! The guys owning it are very nice and chilled out and their food is absolutely yummie. Its a bit off the beaten track since its not right next to the shopping streets down town, but on the other side its right next...
Rojo72 Says: Recently redecorated Plaza nightclub in the bottom of Plaza hotel is a very nice club, attracting crowds from the ages of 23 and up, but most are between 23-35/40. This is except on some friday night when they throw a theme called "30+" when there will often be a band...
Woolpack Inn: Yet another great pub
Rojo72 Says: The Woolpack Inn is another of the many pubs in Karlstad (we've got the most pubs per capita in Sweden they say!)It's a nice Pub with a rather large stock of different ales, beers, lagers and so on and a whopping 80 different kinds of single malts (and another 30 whisk(e)ys...
You can't buy a ticket with cash
yvgr Says: If you're planning to use the local busses in Karlstad, or perhaps travelling outside Karlstad with bus you cannot pay by cash. You can pay by getting a bus card or by text message (SMS).
Rojo72 Says: There is no underground or anything like it in Karlstad as the city is too small to have any such. Nor are here any trams. The public transportation system mainly consists of buses and the system of lines is well built.The local buses that cover Karlstad and it's different...

Toshioohsako Says: Its a shopping complex. They have everything. Mitt i city is a newly built shopping maul. They have all sorts of 53 stores and interesting cafeteria and coffee shops. Almost everything! As much as you can afford and need.
Rojo72 Says: This tip should actually go under "Sweden" as it concerns all of the country but to put this tip alone there would make my country seem worse than Attila the Hun so I put it here instead.If you have read my things to do tip you might want to head to the western grave yard...
nobias Says: It is a boring town, one of the bus stops smelt like ***... there are only old people hobbling around, and it's a real hicksville. If you are a tourist, don't go there! I got off from the bus centre, and all you can see are old and broken buildings. There is no statue of the...
Don't be fooled by the destination karlstad website. It truly is a small town with nothing to do. The stone bridge is well, to put it honestly just a stone bridge that buses drive over. Why not stand on a bridge in lets say amsterdam and watch the people who actually may even look at you or say hello back as opposed to scuttling along looking at the floor moaning about the weather. karlstad has the most number of pubs per capita? bollocks. Rubbish put me up outdoor glasshouses with heaters and rugs to use because it's still so damn cold in the summer aren't pubs. fake pubs such as the bishops arms that have been built into the side of a hotel is the closest you will come. If you are unfortunate enough to visit karlstad because the website has drawn you to the 'city centre' (few crap over priced shops) then leave and never come back. you may have had a bad weekend but think about the poor old soles like me to have to unfortunately live here because we had too much fun in our previous lives. Honestly Karlstad - visit, work & live somewhere else in the world for 6 months then you'll realize that the stone bridge really is crap.
Unique Suggestions: Find the bus station or train station and hop on the first thing leaving the town.

Rojo72 Says: Since Karlstad is almost built on water it is an ideal place to rent a canoe. You could opt for going in the Klarälven river or in the Vänern Sea.One very good place to rent a canoe is Kilenegården on the Hammarö island south of Karlstad. It is right next to the Väner Sea...
Rojo72 Says: Mariebergsskogen used to be both a small zoo with domesticated northern animals and a small amusement park, but now only the zoo remains of the two in the Mariebergsskogen Park. There are several new things to see though. In the park there is the zoo with animals like sheep,...
Rojo72 Says: Fishing in Sweden is rather regulated but actually not that hard around Karlstad. Fishing in "nedre klarälvens fiskevårdsområde" (Lower Klarälven's fishing regulation area) is free all the way up to where E18, the motorway crosses the river at Borgmästholmen in Karlstad....
Rojo72 Says: If you're the kind of person who prefer bathing without any clothes on there's a nudist section of the cliffs and beaches at Skutberget.The nudist beaches are divided from the ordinary beaches by a hedge. Nota bene! The free beaches have now been moved as they caused too...
