Review:
If you want to get out of Norway for the day and experience a different part of Europe, the city of Karlstad, Sweden is a wonderful choice. Tucked in between the Klarälven River and Lake Vänern, the city is laced with beautiful walking trails and spacious parks, and there are all sorts of opportunities to swim or boat in the summer and skate in the winter. It's also known for its excellent museums and historic attractions, with highlights including the Brigade Museum, the Naturum Värmland nature center, and Alsters Herrgård, a house museum that was formerly the home of poet Gustaf Fröding. Karlstad, Sweden
