Which side of the plane to sit from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome) to Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the jagged Dolomites, the historic cities of Bavaria, and a spectacular approach over the Danish islands and the Swedish coastline.
The Dolomites
The iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, offering some of the best mountain scenery in Europe.
Bavarian Plains
Rolling green hills and historic towns in Southern Germany near Munich.
Nuremberg
Clear views of the historic city layout and the Pegnitz River flowing through the center.
Öresund Bridge
The architectural marvel connecting Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmö, Sweden over the blue sea.
Swedish Archipelago
Hundreds of small islands and rocky outcrops as the plane descends toward Gothenburg.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep your camera ready approximately 40 minutes into the flight for the Dolomites. During the final descent, the view of the Öresund Strait and the scattered islands of the Swedish west coast is significantly better from this side.
Rome Suburbs
View of the Castelli Romani and the volcanic Lake Albano immediately after departure from Ciampino.
Swiss Alps
Majestic snow-capped peaks of Central Switzerland, including the Eiger and Jungfrau regions.
Lake Constance
The expansive blue waters of Bodensee bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in Southwest Germany.
Hamburg Port
The massive industrial landscape and crane-filled skyline of Germany's largest seaport.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the North Sea as you approach Scandinavia. Pay attention early in the flight to see the craters of the Alban Hills near Rome. Note that cloud cover frequently builds up over the Swiss Alps, which may obstruct views of the peaks.
