Rome Cityscape
Potential distant views of the Vatican and the historic center depending on takeoff wind direction.
The Dolomites
The unique limestone towers and jagged ridges of the Eastern Italian Alps.
Bavarian Plains
Green fields and the sprawl of Munich as the flight crosses into Southern Germany.
The Baltic Coast
The rugged coastline of Northern Germany and the southern tip of Sweden (Skåne).
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of nearly 30,000 islands as the plane descends into Arlanda.
The right side is the 'money seat' for the approach into Stockholm. To see the archipelago at its best, try to book a flight arriving in the late afternoon during summer for golden hour lighting. During the Alpine crossing, keep your camera ready for the distinctive pale gray peaks of the Dolomites.

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the intersection of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Oresund Bridge
