Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking view of thousands of tiny islands and islets as you climb out of Arlanda.
Gotland Island
The medieval island of Gotland is often visible in the middle of the Baltic Sea during cruise altitude.
Hel Peninsula
A unique, 35km long sandbar sticking out into the Baltic Sea as you enter Polish airspace.
Vistula River Delta
The intricate waterways where Poland's longest river meets the sea near Gdańsk.
Krakow Old Town
On many approach paths to runway 25, the left side provides views of Wawel Castle and the Main Square.
Sit toward the front or rear to avoid the wing. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you on this side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Baltic coastline and the Polish interior. During winter, look for ice formations around the Stockholm islands.

Stockholm City
Depending on the departure runway, catch a glimpse of the Swedish capital's unique urban layout.
Öland Island
The long, thin island of Öland and the Kalmar Strait are clearly visible to the west.
Gdańsk Port
The industrial and historical maritime hub of the Tricity area as the plane crosses the coast.
Tatra Mountains
On clear days during the descent into Krakow, the high peaks of the Tatras appear on the southern horizon.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy a sunset over the Baltic Sea. Keep your eyes peeled as you descend toward Krakow; the right side often gets a majestic view of the distant High Tatras if the visibility is high.
