Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Swedish coastline along the Gulf of Bothnia and a clear perspective of Uppsala's historic landmarks during the descent into Arlanda.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Gulf of Bothnia

Dramatic views where the Swedish forest meets the Baltic Sea coastline.

🏗️

Sundsvall Skyline

The industrial city and its large bridge across the Sundsvall bay.

🏰

Uppsala Cathedral

Visible as you approach Arlanda, the tallest church in Scandinavia.

🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

The northern edges of the vast island chain before landing.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out for the transition from the rugged northern terrain to the flat agricultural plains of Uppland near the end of the journey. The approach to runway 01R or 19L often provides a perfect view of Uppsala's skyline.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💧

Lake Storsjön

Immediate views of the Great Lake and Frösön island after departure.

🌲

Inland Forests

Vast stretches of deep green spruce and pine forests typical of Norrland.

🏞️

Lake Siljan

The famous circular lake in Dalarna, formed by a meteor impact long ago.

🚤

Lake Mälaren

The intricate network of lakes and islands west of Stockholm during descent.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Swedish interior. On afternoon flights, the setting sun provides a golden glow over the inland lakes and forests. Keep a lookout for the 'Great Lake Monster' landmarks immediately after takeoff from Östersund.
