The Kattegat
Aerial view of the sea area between the Jutland peninsula and the Swedish coast as the plane enters Danish airspace.
Aarhus Cityscape
A clear view of Denmark's second-largest city, including the iconic harbor and the 'Iceberg' residential complex.
Samsø Island
The picturesque, eco-friendly island known for its rolling hills and renewable energy projects.
Øresund Bridge
Often visible on the final approach, this iconic bridge connects the Danish capital with Malmö, Sweden.
Sit on the left for morning flights (typically the 08:30 or 10:00 departures) to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the Faroese landscape. During the descent, look for the 'Infinite Bridge' near Aarhus if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
