Which side of the plane to sit from Visby Airport (Visby) to Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable sequence featuring the medieval cityscape of Visby upon takeoff, followed by a stunning panorama of the Stockholm Archipelago and a close-up of Drottningholm Palace during the final approach.
Visby Old Town
A spectacular view of the UNESCO-listed medieval city walls, the cathedral ruins, and the harbor immediately after takeoff.
Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of granite islands and islets stretching toward the horizon, featuring the unique 'skärgård' landscape.
Inner Archipelago
Clusters of islands populated with traditional Swedish Falu-red summer cottages and winding boat channels.
Drottningholm Palace
The Swedish Royal Family's residence and its geometric Baroque gardens are often visible just moments before landing.
Stockholm Skyline
Views of the City Hall tower and the spires of Gamla Stan (Old Town) during the final banking maneuvers into Bromma.
This is the premier side for this route. To see Visby's walls, be ready immediately after the landing gear retracts. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the archipelago—the sheer number of islands is breathtaking. In winter, look for the contrast between the dark water and snow-covered islands. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the archipelago's east-facing features.
Baltic Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Baltic Sea during the mid-flight crossing toward the mainland.
Södermanland Coastline
The point where the sea meets the rugged Swedish mainland near the coastal towns of Trosa and Nyköping.
Sörmland Forests
Vast stretches of dense evergreen forests interspersed with small, mirror-like glacial lakes.
Lake Mälaren Inlets
The southern shores of Lake Mälaren featuring suburban Stockholm islands and recreational boating docks.
Sit in the middle of the cabin for the best balance of wing-free views. This side is particularly scenic during the late afternoon when the 'golden hour' sun illuminates the mainland forests and the sea transition. Watch for the sudden change from blue water to dark green forest as you cross the coastline near Oxelösund.
