By
Air
There are direct
flights from Stockholm or Copenhagen. Airlines that usually have
good prices include: Lufthansa/SAS, KLM, Air France, Iceland Air
and Finnair. If you are travelling via London, Ryan Air has some
very cheap flights to Stockholm. Note, however, that Ryan Air does
not fly into Arlanda, which is the major airport for Stockholm. You
can also fly into Gothenborg. However, you would then need to take
the train from Gothenborg to Karlstad since there are no connecting
flights. This journey takes about 3 hours.
Check flight arrivals
and departures
at Karlstad Airport.
By
Train
If you
are flying into Gothenborg you can take the Airport Bus directly to
the train station. From there you can take several trains directly
to Karlstad. For schedule information see http://www.sj.se/node/0,4452,3367_1,FF.html.
The same
applies for Stockholm. There is both a bus service and a new train.
Both take you to the Central Station. See the above web address for
specific train information.
Airport bus to central station of Gothenburg: ~50 sek (one
way).
Train from Gothenborg to Karlstad: ~220 sek (one way).

Unless you have a
lot of time on your hands or just enjoy the experience of sitting
on a bus for extended periods of time, we would not recommend this
option. However, check out http://www.eurolines.se/ for inter European bus
schedules.
