Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a premium viewing experience, featuring a close fly-by of Mount Olympus and a spectacular aerial panorama of the Danube river, including the cityscapes of Thessaloniki and Budapest.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Mount Olympus

The legendary home of the Greek gods, featuring dramatic peaks often dusted with snow even in late spring.

⛵

Thessaloniki

A beautiful view of the Thermaic Gulf and the sprawling northern Greek port city.

🌉

Budapest

The iconic Hungarian Parliament building and the chain bridges spanning the Danube are highlights of the mid-flight.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The forested, rolling peaks that define the natural border between the Czech Republic and Saxony.

🗼

Berlin Mitte

The Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the dense urban core of Berlin are clearly visible on the approach to the airport.

A morning flight is best for lighting on the Balkan mountains. Approximately 60 minutes into the flight, look out for the sharp 'Danube Bend' in Hungary. If landing at Tegel from the west, the right side provides the most direct views of the central Berlin skyline.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏛️

Attica Highlands

Panoramic views of Mount Parnitha and the rugged terrain of central Greece immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Belgrade

The Serbian capital is often visible to the west, situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The distinctive elongated shape and turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake in western Hungary.

🏰

Prague

The historic spires and red rooftops of the Czech capital can be seen in the distance during the northern cruise.

🛶

Havel River

Lush forest landscapes and the sprawling lake systems of Potsdam and Spandau as the plane enters Berlin airspace.

Opt for an afternoon flight to avoid direct sun glare and enjoy the golden hour lighting over the Bohemian landscapes. During the descent into the Berlin area, keep your eyes peeled for the intricate network of lakes surrounding the Wannsee area.
