Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more consistent view of the expansive Lake Vättern during the cruise and typically provides a more dramatic angle of Lake Mälaren and the Stockholm city outskirts upon the final approach into Bromma.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Lake Mjörn

Shortly after takeoff from Landvetter, look for this large lake surrounded by lush woodlands and small summer cottages.

🛶

Vättern's North Reach

Clear views of Sweden's second-largest lake, known for its deep, crystal-clear water and the historic town of Vadstena.

🏘️

Linköping & Lake Roxen

The flight path often passes just north of Linköping, offering views of the cathedral and the Göta Canal entrance at Roxen.

🏝️

Mälaren Archipelago

As you descend, the intricate network of islands in Lake Mälaren provides a stunning mosaic of water and greenery.

🏙️

Stockholm City View

Depending on the wind direction, the final approach often yields a panoramic view of the Kungsholmen district and the city center.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern glare. During the final 5 minutes of the flight, stay alert as the aircraft glides low over the suburbs; this is the best time to spot the contrast between the dense urban architecture and the surrounding blue waters.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Småland Highlands

Observe the dense, rolling pine forests and rocky terrain characteristic of the southern Swedish interior.

🏙️

Jönköping & Southern Vättern

A glimpse of the southern tip of Lake Vättern where the city of Jönköping sits nestled between the hills.

💧

Lake Sommen

Look for the uniquely shaped, multi-island lake Sommen, famous for its clear water and jagged coastline.

🏰

Drottningholm Palace

On the final approach to Bromma, the right side often gets a perfect view of the Royal residence and its magnificent baroque gardens.

🏠

Södermalm Outskirts

Views of the southern residential islands and the industrial heritage areas as you cross into the capital region.

The right side is unbeatable if the flight lands on Runway 30, as it passes directly by Drottningholm Palace. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the palace and the forested landscape of Östergötland.
