Lake Mälaren
Sweden's third-largest lake, providing beautiful views of inland waterways and historic manor houses near the airport.
Rügen Chalk Cliffs
The striking white Jasmund National Park cliffs on Germany's largest island are a major highlight mid-flight.
Mecklenburg Lake District
An incredible 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' that looks like a shattered mirror from 30,000 feet.
Berlin Outskirts
Views of the Havel river and the northern residential districts as the plane prepares for landing.
The right side is the winner for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the German coastline. During the final 15 minutes, the pattern of interconnected lakes in Mecklenburg is best viewed from this side.

Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of nearly 30,000 islands and islets visible immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
Baltic Sea Shipping Lanes
Main maritime routes where large ferries and cargo ships can be spotted traversing between Sweden and the Baltics.
Usedom Island
The coastal border region between Germany and Poland, featuring expansive sandy beaches and seaside resorts.
Brandenburg Forests
Dense, dark green pine forests and flat plains that characterize the landscape of North-Eastern Germany.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when departing Stockholm to see the archipelago without sun glare. On the approach to Berlin, this side is ideal for spotting the Polish border and the vast forests of the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve.
