FCO → GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Tuscan archipelago and the most iconic high peaks of the Western Alps, followed by the winding Rhine River.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear views of Elba and the rugged coastline of Tuscany shortly after takeoff from FCO.
Western Alps
Spectacular views of the highest European peaks, including potential sightings of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.
Lake Constance
The massive lake where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Rhine Valley
The iconic German river corridor known for its steep vineyards and hilltop medieval castles.
Kattegat Sea
The maritime passage between Denmark and Sweden as the flight begins its descent into Gothenburg.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the Alps. The mountain crossing occurs approximately 45-55 minutes into the flight. Look out for the distinct pyramid shape of the Matterhorn if the flight path stays slightly west.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone 'spine' of Italy visible during the initial climb out of Rome.
The Dolomites
The sharp, jagged peaks of the Italian Alps known for their unique pinkish-grey limestone.
Bavarian Plains
Deep green forests and the urban sprawl of Munich visible as you cross into Germany.
Oresund Bridge
The massive engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, to Malmö, Sweden.
Swedish Archipelagos
Thousands of small rocky islands and dense forests characteristic of the Swedish west coast.
The Oresund Bridge is a highlight best seen about 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the right side offers stunning views of snow-covered Bavarian landscapes. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the horizon isn't obstructed during the banking turns into Landvetter.
