Karlstad Sweden

Karlstad is situated half way between Oslo and Stockholm on the northern shore of Lake Vanern in the county of Varmland. Karlstad is known as the sun city of Sweden, the sun has become the symbol of the town and symbolizes the hospitality of the inhabitants and illustrates the warm-hearted attitude of Karlstad. The River Klaralven floats through the city before reaching the Lake Vanern. The old Stone Bridge, Sweden's longest stone arch bridge, spans across the eastern branch of the river. The large and airy market square, Storatorget is the heart of the city centre. There you can visit the Neoclassical Radhuset, the town hall, and the Peace Monument that commemorates the peaceful dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway. Just east of the market square we find Karlstad Cathedral. You can't miss it as its tower is visible all over the central city. Inside you can admire the altar, made from Gotland limestone with a cross of Orrefors crystal, and the organ. Just beside Karlstad Cathedral is a memorial stone, raised in remembrance of the sailors from the county of Värmland who lost their lives at sea during the Second World War. Karlstad School Museum is located opposite the cathedral. The museum has a large collection of school objects, educational material from mid-19th century and school uniforms. One of the major tourist attractions in Karlstad is the Värmland Museum situated at the corner where the Klarälven River splits. There are a dozen permanent exhibits in the museum that will guide you through the history of Värmland. Sola i Kallsta, the sun in Karlstad, a popular local expression, refers to a nice and happy servant girl that lived in Karlstad in the 17th century. There is a sculpture of her placed outside the Stadshotellet and Bishop's Arms pub. Karlstad is nice, beautiful and friendly and the surrounding Värmland holds a treasure in nature: Tiveden National Park. There you will find swamps, glacial forests and paths along lakes that reflect the wonderful skies that really makes the trip here worthwhile
