Gothenburg
Sweden's second-largest city and its massive industrial port visible as you cross the coast.
Lake Vättern
A long, deep, and remarkably clear tectonic lake with the island of Visingsö often visible.
Stockholm City
A breathtaking view of the 'Venice of the North' and its historic Gamla Stan district during descent.
Stockholm Archipelago
The mesmerizing pattern of thousands of granite islands where the land meets the Baltic Sea.
Læsø Island
The unique flat landscape of the Danish island of Læsø in the middle of the Kattegat.
For the most iconic views, the right side is essential. During the approach to Arlanda, you often fly south of the city, providing a panoramic view of Stockholm's islands. Morning flights offer the best lighting over the Baltic coast and the archipelago.
