Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the massive expanse of Lake Vänern shortly after takeoff and provides the most iconic views of the Stockholm skyline and Lake Mälaren during the approach to Bromma.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Vänern & Kinnekulle

Witness the vastness of the largest lake in the European Union and the distinctive flat-topped silhouette of the Kinnekulle plateau mountain.

🏔️

Billingen Table Mountain

A clear view of one of the unique geological plateau mountains of the Skaraborg region near Skövde.

💧

Lake Mälaren Archipelago

As the flight nears Stockholm, the left side gazes over the intricate network of islands and waterways that define the region.

🏙️

Stockholm City Center

Depending on the wind direction, the final approach often yields views of the City Hall, the Old Town (Gamla Stan), and the central bridges.

For morning flights, the left side avoids the harshest direct sun glare. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Stockholm approach. In winter, look for the 'ice-road' tracks on Lake Vänern and Mälaren. The final 5 minutes of the flight are the most scenic as the aircraft descends over the urban island landscape.

Right Side Highlights

🛶

Southern Vättern View

While further away, the northern reaches of Lake Vättern are often visible on the horizon to the south.

🌲

Södermanland Forests

A bird's-eye view of the classic Swedish 'green carpet'—dense boreal forests dotted with thousands of small lakes.

🏡

Bromma Garden City

Excellent views of the historic 1920s residential architecture and lush suburbs of Bromma during landing.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. Keep an eye out for the Götaland plains, which transform into a vibrant gold color during the late summer harvest season. This side is typically quieter for photography as it avoids the busier flight path landmarks.
