Search flights from AMS to ZAG
The Rhine River
The winding silver ribbon of the Rhine cutting through the industrial and natural heart of Germany.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald mountain range visible in southwestern Germany.
Central Alpine Chain
Spectacular panoramic views of the snow-capped High Tauern and Swiss/Austrian border peaks.
Julian Alps
Rugged limestone peaks and the lush valleys of Slovenia, including glimpses of the Ljubljana basin.
Medvednica Mountain
The prominent forested ridge that protects Zagreb to the north, visible just before touchdown.
Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the best photos of the Alpine peaks. In winter, the right side offers breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains, but be aware of the afternoon sun which can cause significant glare during summer months.

Dutch Polder Landscapes
Geometric canal patterns and reclaimed land visible immediately after departure from Schiphol.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the massive Frankfurt Airport hub can often be seen in the distance to the east.
Bavarian Plains
Rolling green hills and traditional villages of southern Germany as the flight nears the Alpine foothills.
Dachstein Massif

Zagreb City View
