Malbork Castle
The world's largest brick castle is often visible to the east during the descent into the Pomeranian region.
Żuławy Wiślane
Observe the unique 'Little Holland' polders and intricate canal systems of the Vistula Delta.
Port of Gdańsk

Gdańsk Bay
Vast views of the Baltic Sea and the Hel Peninsula stretching into the water on clear days.
The right side is essential for the scenic approach into GDN. Try to book a late afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Vistula Delta canals. If the plane lands on Runway 29, you will get a spectacular view of the Tricity area and the coastline.

Płock Panorama
Early in the flight, see the historic Tumskie Hill and the massive PKN Orlen industrial complex.
Toruń Old Town
Glimpse the medieval red-brick architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage site along the Vistula.
Bory Tucholskie
Expansive views of one of Poland's largest forest complexes as you head north.
Kashubian Lakes
Numerous small glacial lakes dotting the landscape during the initial descent phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the industrial sprawl of Bydgoszcz and the surrounding dense forests. This side is better if the aircraft approaches GDN from the west over the lake district.
