KIDARN

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Swedish coastline and the breathtaking Stockholm archipelago during the descent into Arlanda.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Baltic Sea Coastline

Aerial views of the rugged eastern shoreline where the mainland meets the brackish waters of the Baltic.

🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

An incredible mosaic of over 30,000 islands, islets, and rocks that make up the unique coastal landscape.

🏙️

Stockholm Cityscape

Depending on the wind-dependent landing pattern, a stunning view of Gamla Stan and the city's islands is frequently visible.

✈️

Arlandastad

The final descent offers a detailed view of the airport's surrounding infrastructure and the Swedish countryside.

This is the premier choice for the approach into ARN. In the morning, the light illuminates the islands perfectly. If the flight lands from the south on Runway 01, you will get a spectacular panoramic view of the city center and the Vasa Museum area.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Småland Forests

Dense, rolling canopies of evergreen and birch that define the interior of southern Sweden.

💧

Lake Vättern

Sweden's second-largest lake is often visible to the west, appearing as a deep blue expanse on the horizon.

🏰

Linköping Cathedral

On clear days, the prominent spire of this historic landmark can be spotted as the flight passes over Östergötland.

🚤

Lake Mälaren

The complex network of bays and islands of Sweden's third-largest lake as you approach the capital region.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to witness the 'Golden Hour' reflection on the inland lakes. It is also the better side for viewing the sunset during the long winter months when the sun stays low in the southern sky.
