ARN → VCE
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the right side is highly prioritized for the spectacular final approach, which frequently offers a direct view of the historic island of Venice and the Grand Canal.

Swedish Lake District
Vast stretches of deep green forests dotted with the blue waters of Lake Mälaren or Vättern.
Bavarian Foothills
As you head south, the rolling green hills of Southern Germany give way to the rising wall of the Alps.
The Dolomites
Incredible views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the UNESCO-listed Dolomite mountains in Italy.
Venice Historic Center
The iconic 'fish' shape of Venice, the Grand Canal, and St. Mark's Square are often visible on final approach.
The Giudecca Canal
Views of the large ships and the distinctive architecture of the Giudecca island just before touchdown.
Seat yourself on the right for the 'Venice View.' Most flights land on Runway 04, and the standard approach path circles the city, placing the historic center directly outside the right windows. Afternoon flights are best as the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the city and mountains perfectly.

Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning view of thousands of islands and rocky outcrops as you climb out of Arlanda.
Baltic Coastline
Glittering views of the Swedish coast and potentially the distant silhouette of Gotland island.
North German Plain
The geometric patchwork of German agriculture interspersed with large-scale wind farms.
Austrian High Alps
Breathtaking views of the glaciated peaks in the Hohe Tauern range, including Grossglockner.
Burano and Torcello
During the descent, look for the vibrant, colorful houses of Burano and the ancient church on Torcello.
The left side is excellent for early morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Baltic. During the descent into VCE, look specifically for the northern lagoon islands which are often closer to this side of the flight path.
