Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers breathtaking distant views of the Alps, the turquoise waters of Lake Balaton, and a more dramatic perspective of the Sava and Danube confluence upon landing in Belgrade.

Fruลกka Gora

A lush, forested mountain range rising from the Serbian plains just north of Belgrade.

๐ŸŒ‡

Belgrade Confluence

A prime view of the Sava River meeting the Danube right before touchdown at Nikola Tesla Airport.

The right side is best for afternoon/evening flights to catch the sunset over the Alps. During the descent into BEG, the right side usually provides a better view of the 'New Belgrade' blocks and the city center. Keep an eye out for the distinct turquoise hue of Lake Balaton roughly 30-40 minutes before landing.
