BRENYO

Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for major urban landmarks, including the city of Hamburg and the iconic Oresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Bremen Departure

Aerial views of the Weser River and the historic city center of Bremen immediately after takeoff.

⚓

Hamburg Skyline

A clear view of Germany's second-largest city, including the massive port infrastructure and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall.

🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Scanning the green landscapes and coastal fringes of the islands of Lolland and Falster.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The spectacular 8km bridge and tunnel system linking Copenhagen to Malmö over the Baltic waters.

🏢

Copenhagen

The sprawling Danish capital is often visible as the flight tracks north toward the Swedish border.

For the best visibility of the Oresund Bridge and Copenhagen, choose a window seat on the left. On morning flights, this side remains in the shade, reducing glare for photography. Keep an eye out about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the transition from Germany to the Danish islands.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Elbe Estuary

The wide mouth of the Elbe River meeting the Wadden Sea on the northern German coastline.

🏝️

Fehmarn Island

The large German island in the Baltic Sea, visible as the aircraft crosses toward Scandinavia.

⛵

Baltic Sea Vistas

Vast blue horizons and the occasional silhouette of the island of Bornholm in the far distance.

🇸🇪

Scania Coastline

The rugged and beautiful southern coastline of Sweden as the plane enters Swedish airspace.

🌲

Nyköping Archipelago

A stunning cluster of small islands and dense forests characteristic of the Södermanland region upon approach.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. During the final descent into Skavsta, look out for the intricate patterns of the Swedish archipelago. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Swedish forest landscapes particularly photogenic from this side.
