Search flights from KSD to ARN
Lake Vänern
The largest lake in the European Union dominates the view immediately after takeoff from Karlstad.
Gripsholm Castle
Located near Mariefred, this iconic 16th-century royal fortress can often be spotted along the southern Mälaren shore.
Mälaren Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands, bays, and inlets as the flight crosses toward Stockholm.
Stockholm Suburbs
Distant but clear views of the Stockholm metropolitan area and the northern fringes of the archipelago during descent.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic Swedish scenery. For morning flights, this side receives direct light, making the water of the lakes sparkle. During the descent, watch for the transition from the rural Mälaren valley to the urban sprawl of the capital.

Värmland Wilderness
Dense, endless expanses of Swedish pine and spruce forests stretching toward the horizon.
Västerås Cityscape
An excellent view of one of Sweden's oldest cities and its busy harbor on Lake Mälaren.
Uppsala Cathedral
On the final approach to Arlanda, the twin spires of the historic Uppsala Cathedral are often visible to the north.
Look out during the middle of the flight to spot the industrial heritage sites of the Bergslagen region. This side is better during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare.
