Småland Forests
Classic Swedish 'Deep Woods' landscape characterized by dense spruce forests and scattered red timber cottages.
Bråviken Bay
A long, narrow bay of the Baltic Sea that creates a sharp contrast against the surrounding green hills near Norrköping.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of thousands of islands and islets as the plane begins its descent toward the capital.
Stockholm City View
On the standard approach to Arlanda, you can often see the distinct landmarks of Gamla Stan and the City Hall from the right.
Choose the right side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the archipelago. During the descent into Arlanda, usually from the south, this side offers the best vantage point for spotting the intricate waterways of Stockholm and the Vaxholm fortress.

Kronoberg Castle Ruins
Look down shortly after takeoff to see the medieval fortress ruins on an island in Lake Helgasjön.
Lake Vättern
A massive blue expanse to the west, representing Sweden's second largest lake and its crystal clear waters.
Linköping Cathedral
The 107-meter tall spire of one of Sweden's finest gothic buildings is easily spotted from cruising altitude.
Lake Mälaren
The western reaches of Sweden's third largest lake, filled with hundreds of small islands and bridges.
The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the large lakes. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid pattern of Linköping city mid-flight to orient your progress. In winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-covered forests against the dark lake ice.
