Stockholm Skyline
Breathtaking views of 'The Venice of the North' and its historic Gamla Stan district.
Øresund Bridge
The massive 8km bridge and tunnel complex connecting Malmö to Copenhagen.
Copenhagen Harbor
Clear views of the Danish capital, including the Royal Opera House and modern waterfront.
North Sea Wind Farms

Greater London
On clear days, the distant skyline including The Shard and Canary Wharf is visible during the Gatwick approach.
The right side is ideal for landmark spotters. Ensure you are alert during the first 20 minutes for Sweden/Denmark views and the last 15 minutes for the London approach. In autumn and winter, choose afternoon flights for dramatic sunset views over the North Sea.
