Sweden amongst the other nordic countries is a region of the world that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Sweden is surrounded by larger bodies of water with many chains of islands nearby making it an interesting kiteboarding destination. If you go to the north of Sweden you can reach the Arctic Circle where the Sun does not set in the summer months and where during the winter months you will experience the Northern Lights.

For the kiteboarder in you, make sure you head to the south of the country where you’ll find most of the kiteboarding action taking place. For the on-land bits of your trip, Sweden is a worthy visit for any traveler whether a kiteboarder or not and definitely has something for everyone at every point of the year. Enjoy its kiteboarding scene, gorgeous cities, beautiful nature and other activities to make of this trip an exciting one.
