GSEWAW

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including a clear view of the Gothenburg city center upon departure, the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic, and the historic Tri-City area on the Polish coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Gothenburg City Center

Immediately after takeoff from GSE, you will see the central districts, the Gothia Towers, and the Ullevi Stadium.

🌾

Skåne Countryside

The fertile yellow and green patchwork fields of southernmost Sweden before the plane crosses into the Baltic Sea.

🏝️

Bornholm Island

On a clear day, the rocky coastline and circular churches of this Danish island are visible in the middle of the Baltic.

⚓

Gdańsk Bay

As you enter Polish airspace, you can spot the massive shipyards of Gdańsk and the long Hel Peninsula stretching into the sea.

🐍

Vistula River

The winding 'Wisła' river serves as a constant landmark during the descent into Warsaw Chopin.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. It is also the superior side for spotting the Gdańsk metropolitan area as the flight path usually crosses the Polish coastline near the Vistula Spit. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for views of the Modlin area.

Right Side Highlights
6.9
🛥️

Gothenburg Archipelago

Exquisite views of the granite islands and coastal fishing villages of the Bohuslän region during initial climb.

🌊

Open Kattegat

A vast expanse of deep blue water where the North Sea meets the Baltic, often dotted with cargo ships.

🌲

Kashubian Lake District

A dense cluster of post-glacial lakes and thick forests in northern Poland, known as 'Kashubian Switzerland'.

🛶

Włocławek Reservoir

A massive man-made widening of the Vistula River that appears as a deep blue blotch on the Polish plains.

🌳

Kampinos National Park

The large forested 'green lung' of Warsaw visible on the final approach when landing from the northwest.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sun glare and enjoy the sunset. It offers a spectacular look at the Swedish west coast islands immediately after departure. During winter months, this side provides better views of the snow-covered forests in central Poland.
