Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Danish Archipelago

The cluster of islands between mainland Denmark and Sweden, including views of the Great Belt Bridge.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

BohuslΓ€n Coast

The stunning, jagged coastline of western Sweden, characterized by thousands of smooth granite islands.

Oslofjord

The iconic 100km long waterway leading to the capital, dotted with colorful summer cabins and ferries.

Oslo Cityscape

A glimpse of the city center and the Holmenkollen ski jump on the hills during the final approach.

The right side is essential for the approach into Oslo Lufthavn. Try to sit away from the wing to fully appreciate the Swedish archipelago and the fjord. Afternoon flights provide the best light for photography, especially during the 'golden hour' over the water.

🌳

Bavarian Foothills

Lush green landscapes and traditional German villages immediately following departure from Munich.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, appearing as a dense, dark forested mass mid-flight.

🌊

Jutland Peninsula

The western coast of Denmark and the vast North Sea stretching out toward the horizon.

Telemark Mountains

The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the southern Norwegian interior visible during the descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is best for observing the dramatic transition from the flat North German plains to the mountainous Norwegian terrain. In winter, look for the frost-covered forests of central Germany.
