Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river cutting through the central plains.
Tricity Area
Aerial panorama of Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia along the edge of the Baltic coast.
Hel Peninsula
A remarkably narrow 35km long sandbar extending into the sea, visible shortly after crossing the coast.
Island of Öland
The distinct long and narrow shape of the Swedish island visible in the distance across the Baltic.
Nyköping Archipelago
Stunning rocky inlets and thousands of tiny islands during the final approach to the airport.
The right side is essential for seeing the Hel Peninsula, a major geographic landmark; look for it approximately 35-40 minutes into the flight. During the descent into Skavsta, the archipelago views are significantly better on this side. Late afternoon flights offer stunning golden hour reflections off the Baltic Sea.
