Tallinn Old Town
A bird's-eye view of the UNESCO-listed medieval spires and the red-roofed Toompea Hill right after takeoff.
Pakri Limestone Cliffs
Dramatic coastal views of the steep limestone cliffs lining the northwestern shore of mainland Estonia.
Matsalu National Park
Aerial perspective of one of Europe's most important wetland stopovers for migratory birds.
Väinatamm Causeway
The road link connecting the islands of Muhu and Saaremaa, cutting through the shallow waters of the Baltic.
Kuressaare Castle
A spectacular view of the perfectly preserved 14th-century star-shaped fortress just before landing.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the coastline. On descent into URE, the plane often circles to align with the runway, giving the left side a direct line of sight to the castle and the marina. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up for the city view.

Lake Ülemiste
The massive freshwater lake located right next to the airport runway, visible immediately upon departure.
Pakri Islands
Views of the small, rugged islands of Väike-Pakri and Suur-Pakri in the Gulf of Finland.
Hiiumaa Island
In the distance, the silhouette of Estonia's second-largest island and its jagged southern coastline.
Kassari Peninsula
The long, narrow pebble spit of Sääretirp extending deep into the turquoise waters of the Väinameri.
Virtsu-Kuivastu Ferry
Spot the passenger ferries crossing the strait between the mainland and Muhu Island.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. It provides a more 'open water' feel with views of the smaller, remote islets. Check the wind direction; if landing from the south, the right side gets a wider view of the Saaremaa coastline.
