Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm) to Kalmar Airport (Kalkmar)?

Our Recommendation

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

A breathtaking view of thousands of islands and islets immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Baltic Sea Coastline

The rugged and beautiful coastline of southeastern Sweden meets the open sea.

🏛️

Stegeborg Castle

Ruins of a medieval fortress guarding the entrance to the Göta Canal.

🌉

Ölandsbron

A spectacular view of the 6,072-meter bridge connecting the mainland to Öland.

🏰

Kalmar Castle

The historic Renaissance fortress visible on the final approach to the airport.

Sit on the left for the best coastal views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the archipelago. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Öland Bridge and the castle, which appear on the left depending on the landing direction.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Drottningholm Palace

The royal residence and UNESCO site visible shortly after departing Bromma.

🌲

Sörmland Forests

Deep green expanses of pine and spruce forests characteristic of the region.

⚓

Norrköping

🛶

Södermanland Lakes

Numerous glinting lakes dotting the landscape between Stockholm and Kalmar.

🚜

Småland Farmland

The right side is better for inland views of the Swedish countryside. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for seeing the land without glare. Watch for the shift from urban Stockholm to the dense, lake-filled forests of the south.
