ARN → VBY
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Visby Airport (Visby)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Swedish archipelago, the right side typically provides a superior angle for observing the coastline of Södermanland and the iconic approach into Visby, including the medieval city walls.

Stockholm City Center
Depending on the departure runway, you can catch views of the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan.
Landsort Lighthouse
The southernmost tip of the Stockholm archipelago, marked by its historic and lonely lighthouse.
Oxelösund Coastline
Vibrant industrial and natural coastal contrast where the mainland meets the sea.
Visby Medieval Wall
On approach from the north, this side offers the best view of the UNESCO World Heritage city walls and red-roofed houses.
Choose the right side for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the water. This side is most critical for the final approach into VBY, as planes often bank over the sea, giving a perfect view of the Visby harbor and the medieval town center.

The major ferry terminal connecting mainland Sweden to Gotland is often visible near the coastline.
Open Baltic Sea

Northern Gotland Coast
