Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning vantage point over the Swedish coastline, the Bothnian Sea, and an iconic approach over the Stockholm archipelago and city center.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bothnian Sea Coast

Breathtaking views of the rugged, jagged coastline of the Gulf of Bothnia throughout the flight.

🏝️

Hudiksvall Archipelago

A dense cluster of small, forested islands and traditional fishing villages along the Hälsingland coast.

🏗️

Gävle Harbor

Aerial views of one of Sweden's oldest and most important industrial shipping ports.

🏰

Stockholm City Center

On many approaches to Bromma, the left side provides a spectacular view of the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan.

⛵

Stockholm Archipelago

The final descent showcases the vast network of thousands of islands entering the Baltic Sea.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Baltic Sea. During the descent into Bromma, keep your eyes peeled about 5 minutes before landing for a clear view of the Stockholm City Hall and the historic center.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🛶

Indalsälven River

Watch the mouth of one of Sweden's longest rivers meet the sea immediately after takeoff.

🌲

The Great Taiga

Expansive views of the dense, deep green pine and spruce forests that define the Swedish interior.

💧

Lake Mälaren

As the plane turns toward Stockholm, the western view is dominated by Sweden's third-largest lake.

🏡

Western Suburbs

Views of the residential areas of Sundbyberg and Bromma as the plane aligns for the short runway.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the golden hour and sunset over the Swedish forests. It offers a more rural and lake-dominated landscape compared to the coastal left side.
