Search flights from CPH to ARN
Øresund Bridge
The massive 8km engineering marvel connecting Denmark to Sweden, clearly visible as the plane crosses the strait.
Turning Torso
The neo-futuristic twisted skyscraper in Malmö, standing out as a landmark on the Swedish coastline.
Stockholm Archipelago
An incredible view of thousands of islands and rocky islets as the aircraft descends towards Arlanda from the south.
Baltic Coastline
The jagged coastline of Södermanland, featuring a mix of deep blue water and dense coastal forests.
Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Øresund Bridge. On the approach to Stockholm, the archipelago is best viewed during the 'Golden Hour' on evening flights when the granite rocks glow orange. This side is typically more scenic for the landing sequence at ARN.

Copenhagen Skyline
Aerial view of the historic center, including the Round Tower and Amalienborg Palace, visible shortly after liftoff.
Kronborg Castle
The UNESCO-listed 'Hamlet's Castle' in Helsingør, situated at the narrowest point of the Øresund strait.
Småland Wilderness
Deep green expanses of Swedish pine forests and thousands of small glacial lakes characteristic of the southern interior.
Lake Vättern
Sweden's second-largest lake is often visible in the distance to the northwest during the mid-flight cruise.
Watch the window immediately during the initial climb for the best views of Copenhagen's unique urban planning. On morning flights, this side is shaded, providing excellent glare-free conditions for photographing the Swedish countryside and the castle at Helsingør.
