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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views, particularly during the crossing of the Central Alps and the breathtaking descent over the Istrian Peninsula and the city of Rijeka.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Småland Forests

Aerial views of the dense Swedish woodlands and countless small lakes south of Nyköping.

🏙️

Berlin Outskirts

Depending on the specific airway, you may see the urban sprawl of the German capital to the west.

🏔️

Julian Alps

Spectacular views of Mount Triglav and the jagged limestone peaks of Slovenia during the descent.

⛵

Kvarner Gulf

The deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea meeting the dramatic coastline of the Istrian Peninsula.

⚓

Rijeka Cityscape

A perfect view of the city’s harbor, historic center, and the surrounding mountains just before touchdown.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right to avoid the direct glare of the morning sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the stunning transition from the high Alps to the Mediterranean coast.

🌊

Swedish Archipelago

Stunning views of the rugged coastline and small islands immediately after departing from Skavsta.

🏰

Prague Panorama

The flight path often passes west of Prague, offering a distant view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' to the east.

Eastern Alps

Views of the snow-capped Austrian peaks as you transition from Central Europe toward the Balkans.

🏝️

Krk Island

A close-up look at the rocky landscape of Krk Island as the plane lines up for the runway at Rijeka Airport.

Sit on the left if you prefer the morning sun lighting up the landscapes to the west. On the final approach to RJK, you will get a great look at the bridge connecting Krk to the mainland.
