Dog-friendly accommodation
Staying in a hotel should feel comfortable and cosy. In Karlstad, there are plenty of accommodations that deliver just that and are ideal for you as a dog owner. If you are attracted by staying in the centre of the city and feeling the pulse, choose between staying at Good Morning Karlstad City, Home Hotel Drott, which is located right by the central station, or in the old police houses at Scandic Karlstad City.
Only a 10-minute walk from the city centre you will find Hotel Scandic Klarälven with easy access to the E18. Here you get a scenic environment around the corner and a fantastic view of Klarälven with the city centre in the background. Best Western Gustaf Fröding Hotell & Konferens, which is one of Värmland’s largest hotel and conference facilities, is also an option. During the summer, the hotel is transformed into a summer paradise with a heated outdoor pool, pool bar, children’s play area and outdoor activities.

Enjoy a delicious dinner with your best four-legged friend
Everyone deserves a luxurious dinner, and that includes your pooch. Walk to the Inner Harbour and visit the Naviero restaurant. Here you can expect a cosy environment and good food just a stone’s throw from the water. If you are looking for a fresh salad, then Zest Karlstad’s Organic Food Bar & Health Hub is preferable, with a selection of vegetarian salads and baguettes. Who isn’t in the mood for a juicy burger? At Texas Longhorn, there are meaty vegetarian and vegan options with a variety of sides. If you want to recreate Lady and the Tramp, head to Fontana Di Trevi, a delightful Italian restaurant located in the centre of town with delicious pizzas, pasta dishes and much more.
More tips on dog-friendly restaurants
Bun, beer or dog treats?
Why not take the opportunity to have a coffee in cosy surroundings with the dog as company. Löfbergs Rosteri & Kaffebar is a hot tip. Button Town Café offers waffles and ice cream galore, prawn sandwiches and salads. During the summer, you can get here with Karlstad’s boat buses, and the dog is of course welcome on board. Another option is to visit Artisan Bread, a modern artisan bakery offering bread, pastries and coffee in a beautiful setting.
You can also choose to toast the weekend with your best four-legged friend at the city’s various bars, all of which make a good and lovely impression.
Walk with beautiful views
Walking in the city with your dog is the perfect thing to do in the pedestrianised Karlstad, with attractions for both of you. You can choose between walking paths in beautiful parks with flowers and vegetation or walking on popular sandy grounds with sunbathing and bathing Karlstad residents in the summer. You can expect to see all this and much more at very reasonable distances.
