St. Petersburg Skyline
A clear view of the Hermitage, St. Isaac's Cathedral, and the Neva River delta immediately after takeoff.
Lakhta Center
The tallest building in Europe stands out prominently on the northern shore of the gulf.
Kronshtadt Fortress
The historic naval base and the golden-domed Naval Cathedral situated on Kotlin Island.
Finnish Archipelago
A mosaic of thousands of tiny rocky islands and islets along the northern horizon.
Copenhagen Harbor
Views of the Nyhavn district, the Royal Palace, and the wind farms in the Øresund strait during descent.
The right side is ideal for catching the urban sprawl of St. Petersburg. For the best experience, fly during the 'White Nights' in summer when the landscape is illuminated late into the evening. On approach to CPH, the right side usually provides a better view of the city's unique architecture and harbor life.

Peterhof Palace
Aerial views of the Grand Cascade and the extensive park systems on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland.
Estonian Coastline
The rugged cliffs and dense forests of northern Estonia, including glimpses of Tallinn's medieval spires.
Gotland Island
The distinct limestone geography of Sweden's largest island visible during the cruise phase over the Baltic.
Öresund Bridge
A spectacular view of the nearly 8-kilometer bridge and tunnel system connecting Sweden to Denmark.
Malmö Turning Torso
The iconic twisted skyscraper in Sweden is often visible just before crossing the strait into Denmark.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare and to capture the best views of the Öresund Bridge. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the bridge-tunnel transition.
