Which side of the plane to sit from Visby Airport (Visby) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Stockholm Archipelago's thousands of islands and a stunning panoramic view of the Stockholm city center during the descent into Arlanda.
Northern Gotland Coast
Beautiful views of the rugged northern coastline of Gotland and the surrounding turquoise coastal waters.
Stockholm Archipelago
An incredible mosaic of over 30,000 islands, islets, and rocks stretching out towards the horizon.
Stockholm City Center
Clear views of Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, and the iconic City Hall as the flight path passes the capital.
Uppland Forests
Dense Scandinavian forests and patchwork farmland characteristic of the Swedish countryside during final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the archipelago. Sit near the front or behind the wing to ensure your view of the city skyline isn't obstructed. On clear evenings, the city lights of Stockholm provide a magical display during the descent.
Visby City Walls
A bird's-eye view of the UNESCO-listed medieval limestone walls and the historic center of Visby immediately after takeoff.
Baltic Sea Expanse
Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea as the aircraft crosses the water towards the Swedish mainland.
Lake Mälaren
Vistas of Sweden's third-largest lake and its verdant islands during the western approach to Arlanda.
Choose the left side for the best departure views of Visby's medieval architecture. Afternoon flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun reflecting off the Baltic Sea. Watch for the Karlsö islands shortly after leaving Gotland's coastline.
