Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of Sweden's iconic water systems, including the northern edges of Lake Vänern and a comprehensive aerial tour of the Mälaren valley during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Vänern Horizon

Glimpses of the vast northern reaches of the largest lake in the European Union to the south-west.

⛵

Lake Mälaren

Spectacular views of the intricate islands and bays of Sweden's third-largest lake during the descent.

🏰

Skokloster Castle

On specific flight paths, the white Baroque silhouette of this historic castle is visible near the water's edge.

🏘️

Sigtuna

Views of Sweden's oldest town with its medieval layout, located just south of the Arlanda runway approach.

This is the prime side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the water. Keep your camera ready during the last 10 minutes of the flight, as the approach over Lake Mälaren provides some of the best aerial photography opportunities in central Sweden.

🌲

Värmland Forest

Expansive views of the dense 'Finnskogen' forests immediately after takeoff from Hagfors.

⚒️

Bergslagen District

A bird's-eye view of the historic mining heartland of Sweden, characterized by small lakes and industrial heritage.

🌾

Uppland Farmlands

The landscape flattens into the golden and green patchworks of the Uppland agricultural plains as you approach Arlanda.

Sit here during morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light illuminating the misty forests of Värmland. Look out for the Dalälven river winding through the landscape to the north during the mid-flight phase.
