Compare 5 airports near Karlstad
For most travelers, Karlstad Airport (KSD) is the practical choice: it sits just 11 km from downtown and offers the most convenient access. The remaining options are not in Karlstad at all and serve neighboring cities. Oslo Airport (OSL) is a major international gateway located in Norway, requiring a longer transit time via train or bus to reach Karlstad. Stockholm VästerAs Airport (VST) serves the city of Västerås and acts as a significant regional node, well-connected by rail and coach. Linkoping City Airport (LPI) in Linköping is best utilized if flying into the Östergötland region, though it involves a multi-hour journey across central Sweden to reach your final destination. Finally, Sandefjord Airport (TRF), situated in Norway, is the most distant option and is generally only chosen for specific flight routes. When planning your arrival, prioritize proximity if speed is a concern, or consider rail connections from major regional airports if you are traveling from international hubs. Always check local train and bus schedules in advance, as some regional services have limited weekly frequency.

The hotel is very old. In 1883, the room didn't have air conditioning. I had a particularly hot day in August, I couldn't sleep in the evening, there was no air conditioning, and although there was an electric fan in the room, it was still hot. Breakfast is not bad.Very Good97 Reviews

The family room we booked is just next to the bus station. The elevator is very small compared to the domestic ones. The room is also small. The hygiene seems OK, but it is still a rip-off compared to the price. But it seems to be like this here. The front desk is open 24 hours a day, but we only gave two small quilts of one meter. We were too tired to go down to the front desk. The heating is sufficient, but the breakfast is not hot.FromUS$81
