Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

Offers a superior view of the Copenhagen skyline and the iconic Øresund Bridge during the descent into Kastrup.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Limfjorden

The waterway separating the North Jutlandic Island from the mainland right after takeoff.

🏖️

Danish Riviera

The scenic coastline of North Zealand featuring upscale seaside resorts and sandy beaches.

🏰

Kronborg Castle

The UNESCO-listed fortress in Helsingør, famously known as the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

🏙️

Copenhagen Center

Bird's-eye view of the historic Indre By, including the colorful houses of Nyhavn.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The engineering marvel connecting Denmark to Malmö, Sweden, visible during final approach.

Sit on the left for the best view of the Copenhagen skyline and Sweden across the water. For evening flights, the city lights provide a magical entry into the capital. Landings usually happen from the northwest, making the left side ideal for city views.

Right Side Highlights
7.3
🌳

Mols Bjerge

The rugged, hilly landscape of the National Park on the Djursland peninsula.

🏝️

Samsø Island

A beautiful view of the island known for its agriculture and green energy initiatives.

⛪

Roskilde Cathedral

The historic gothic cathedral visible as the flight crosses over Zealand towards the airport.

🌊

Køge Bay

The expansive bay south of Copenhagen often visible during a southern approach pattern.

🌬️

Middelgrunden

The curved array of massive offshore wind turbines standing in the Øresund.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Danish archipelago and inland Zealand. It is generally the 'shady' side on southbound morning flights, reducing glare for photography. Look for the Great Belt Bridge in the far distance to the south.
