Roslagen Archipelago
Enjoy the dense cluster of thousands of islands and islets lining the coast just north of Arlanda.
Sundsvall Bridge
View the impressive 2,109-meter long bridge spanning the Sundsvall bay, a masterwork of modern infrastructure.
The High Coast (Höga Kusten)
The scenic highlight of the trip, featuring dramatic steep cliffs and the world's highest coastline elevation.
Gulf of Bothnia
The vast blue expanse of the Baltic Sea, often featuring cargo ships or, in winter, intricate sea ice patterns.
Coastal Settlements
Aerial views of charming coastal towns like Gävle and Hudiksvall tucked into the rugged shoreline.
The right side is best for morning flights to see the sun rising over the sea. The most dramatic topography appears about 30-40 minutes into the flight near the High Coast area. Use a window seat clear of the wing for the best photography of the archipelago.
