Karlstad

Sweden can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

For those seeking the enchantment of the long and dark Swedish winter and the allure of snowy landscapes, the colder months provide a magical setting. On the other hand, warmer seasons, particularly in summer, beckon outdoor enthusiasts with the promise of vibrant landscapes. July and August mark the peak of summer, with temperatures seldom exceeding 20C, providing a comfortable climate for exploring the city and its surroundings.

In Sweden, supermarkets, newsagents, and petrol stations act like postal service agents. Here you will be able to buy stamps, envelopes and many more postal services that are offered.

You can’t miss the bright orange local buses with the sun emblazoned on the side here in Karlstad. Karlstad has a great bus network and tickets can be bought at the ticket vending machines, on your mobile, at the Karlstad tourist office, or Pressbyrån shops. The bus is a great way of getting around the city.
