Edinburgh City
Exceptional views of Arthur's Seat, the Royal Mile, and Edinburgh Castle immediately after takeoff.
Great Belt Bridge
A massive suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand visible during the mid-descent.
Copenhagen Harbor
Aerial view of the city's modern architecture, canals, and the Amager Bakke waste-to-energy plant.
Øresund Bridge
The world-famous bridge and tunnel link between Denmark and Sweden is often visible just before touchdown.
The right side is generally the winner for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for better photography. The view of the Øresund Bridge on the right is one of the most iconic landing views in Europe, especially when landing from the east.

Firth of Forth
Stunning views of the estuary and the historic Forth Bridges shortly after departure from EDI.
Bass Rock
A steep-sided volcanic rock in the outer Firth of Forth, home to a massive colony of northern gannets.
North Zealand Coast
As you descend, catch glimpses of the 'Danish Riviera' with its sandy beaches and summer houses.
Kronborg Castle
Depending on the flight path, you may see 'Hamlet's Castle' in Helsingør as you enter the Øresund strait.
Sit on the left if you want the best view of the Scottish coastline and the Bass Rock during the climb. For the approach into CPH, this side is excellent if the plane loops around northern Zealand, offering views of the Danish coast and Swedish coastline near Helsingborg.
