CPHKRP

Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Karup Airport (Karup)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of Copenhagen's historic center upon takeoff, followed by panoramic views of the Kattegat sea and the scenic fjords of eastern Jutland.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏢

Copenhagen Center

Bird's-eye view of the Christiansborg Palace, Tivoli Gardens, and the inner harbor.

⛪

Roskilde Cathedral

The twin spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site are visible as you cross Zealand.

🌊

Isefjord and Roskilde Fjord

Intricate coastal inlets and peninsulas along the northern coast of Zealand.

🏝️

Samsø Island

The famous renewable-energy island sitting in the Kattegat sea between Zealand and Jutland.

🏞️

Vejle Fjord

Deep forested valleys and the striking architecture of the 'Wave' building in Vejle.

The right side is generally preferred for photography as the sun is usually behind the plane for the majority of this westbound route. Look out for the changing water colors in the Kattegat. During winter months, the low northern sun creates dramatic shadows across the Jutlandic hills, making for excellent landscape photos.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Øresund Bridge

The massive bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden is often visible shortly after departure from CPH.

🌉

Great Belt Bridge

A clear view of the Storebælt fixed link connecting the islands of Zealand and Funen.

🏘️

Odense

The third-largest city in Denmark and the historic heart of Funen island.

🚜

Jutland Plains

The characteristic agricultural patchwork quilt of central Denmark as you approach Karup.

Choose the left side for better views of the massive bridge infrastructures that define Danish geography. If flying during midday, be aware that the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may cause glare on the windows. Morning flights offer softer light for capturing the agricultural landscapes of Jutland.
