Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic city of Venice immediately after takeoff, followed by a dramatic crossing of the Dolomites and the Austrian Alps.
Venice Historic Center
Aerial view of the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square, and the unique labyrinth of Venetian streets shortly after departure.
The Dolomites
The jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, including the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo if the flight path is easterly.
Bavarian Alpine Foreland
Rolling green hills and picturesque lakes of southern Germany as the plane exits the high Alps.
Baltic Coastline
The transition from the northern European mainland into the Baltic Sea near the German city of Rostock.
Lake MΓ€laren
Scenic views of Sweden's third-largest lake and its countless forested islands during the descent into Arlanda.
Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of Venice. Flights departing in the morning provide the best lighting for the Alps, avoiding the harsh afternoon sun glare when looking west. Watch for the sharp contrast between the turquoise lagoon and the red-tiled roofs of the city.
Venice Lido
The long, narrow barrier island separating the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.
High Tauern National Park
Snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Austrian Alps, potentially including views of Grossglockner.
Berlin Outskirts
Depending on the corridor, views of the sprawling urban landscape of the German capital to the west.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of over 30,000 islands and islets visible during the final approach into Stockholm.
Uppsala Cathedral
If approaching from the north, the twin spires of Scandinavia's largest cathedral are often visible near the airport.
The right side is ideal for the arrival phase into Stockholm. The descent over the Baltic islands is spectacular in the late afternoon sun. During winter flights, keep an eye out for frozen coastal waters and ice patterns around the Swedish coastline.
