NYOBRE

Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the intricate Danish archipelagos and the unique tidal landscapes of the German coast as you approach Bremen.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Södermanland Forests

Immediate views of the dense Swedish forests and hundreds of small glacial lakes upon departure from Skavsta.

🏝️

Danish Archipelago

Stunning aerial perspectives of the scattered islands in the Danish straits, including Zealand and Møn.

🌉

Fehmarn Belt

The narrow strait between Germany and Denmark, often busy with ferries and international cargo ships.

🚢

Elbe River Estuary

Spot large container ships navigating towards the Port of Hamburg near the mouth of the Elbe river.

🐚

Wadden Sea

The UNESCO World Heritage tidal flats and the North Sea coastline are often visible during the descent from the north.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinctive geography of the Danish islands, which are best seen from this side. For the best photography, wait until the aircraft crosses the German border when the altitude drops and the coastal details become sharper.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Baltic Sea Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea as the flight leaves the Swedish mainland south of Nyköping.

🇩🇰

Islands of Falster and Lolland

Clear views of the southern Danish islands and their agricultural patterns during the mid-flight transit.

⚓

Lübeck Bay

The historic Hanseatic coastline of Germany and the Travemünde resort area become visible on the approach.

🚜

Lower Saxony Countryside

The structured patchwork of green and yellow fields of Northern Germany dominate the final descent into Bremen.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise lighting over the Baltic Sea. During the final approach to Bremen, look for the Weser River winding through the landscape. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you might catch a distant glimpse of the Hamburg metropolitan area.
