Clear view of the secondary Warsaw airport at the confluence of the Vistula and Narew rivers.
Malbork Castle
The world's largest brick castle can often be spotted to the east on clear days.
Vistula Lagoon
Large coastal body of water separated from the Baltic Sea by the narrow Vistula Spit.
Gdańsk Old Town
Iconic aerial perspective of the Main City, including St. Mary's Basilica and the port cranes.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid sun glare while photographing the coastline. Depending on the landing direction, you may see the Hel Peninsula stretching out into the Baltic Sea. During winter, look for ice formations on the Vistula Lagoon which are particularly striking from above.
