AAR โ GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Aarhus Airport (Aarhus) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic Gothenburg Archipelago during the descent and a clear look at the Danish Djursland coastline shortly after takeoff.
Djursland Coastline
Striking views of the Danish eastern coast and the cliffs around Sangstrup Klint immediately after departure.
Grenaa Harbor
A bird's-eye view of one of Denmark's major ferry ports connecting to Sweden.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the thousands of rocky islands and islets that characterize the approach to Western Sweden.
Gothenburg Cityscape
Panoramic views of the city harbor, the Ullevi Stadium, and the Gothia Towers as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Stena Line Ferries
Look for the large passenger ferries crossing the Kattegat below.
For the most scenic experience, book a window seat on the left. The descent into GOT is short, so keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the Swedish coastline. Morning flights are particularly beautiful as the sun rises over Sweden, illuminating the islands.
Anholt Island
The isolated 'desert' island in the middle of the Kattegat sea, known for its unique sand dunes.
Central Kattegat
Vast blue expanses where the North Sea meets the Baltic waters.
Halland Coastline
The long, sandy beaches of the Swedish west coast near Varberg and Kungsbacka.
Vรคstra Gรถtaland Forests
Dense Swedish pine and spruce forests that dominate the landscape surrounding Landvetter Airport.
Lake Lygnern
A large, elongated lake visible just south of the flight path during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for spotting remote islands like Anholt. If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers a warm glow over the Swedish mainland. It is generally quieter for photography due to the sun position during southbound-to-eastward maneuvers.
