Mariager Fjord

Spectacular views of Denmark's longest fjord, winding deep into the Jutland landscape.

🏗️

Aalborg Waterfront

A bird's-eye view of the Utzon Center and the Musikkens Hus as you approach the runway.

On late afternoon or evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the Jutland peninsula. It is the best side for photography of the terrestrial landmarks and the winding fjords during the descent phase.

Right Side Highlights

🌉

Øresund Bridge

A massive engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, visible shortly after takeoff.
