Tampere Cityscape
Aerial views of the 'Manchester of Finland' nestled between the massive Pyhäjärvi and Näsijärvi lakes.
Häme Castle
The red-brick medieval fortress in Hämeenlinna is clearly visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Aulanko Nature Reserve
Expansive park greenery and the historic observation tower overlooking the Kanta-Häme region.
Lake Vanajavesi
Glittering blue waters winding through the landscape, providing a classic Finnish Lakeland vista.
Vantaa Aviation Hub
Clear views of the northern Helsinki suburbs and industrial logistics centers as the plane enters the final glide path.
Sit on the left for the most direct view of Hämeenlinna. Because the flight is extremely short (under 30 minutes in the air), keep your window blind open from the moment of takeoff. Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare while looking east toward the lakes.

Watch for the 'thousand lakes' effect where the setting sun reflects off the numerous small ponds and waterways in the countryside. Keep a lookout for the sprawling suburban expansion as you approach the capital.
