Fruška Gora National Park
View the rolling green hills of Serbia's oldest national park, once an island in the ancient Pannonian Sea.
Petrovaradin Fortress
The massive 'Gibraltar on the Danube' in Novi Sad is clearly visible shortly after takeoff from Belgrade.
Novi Sad Cityscape
Excellent aerial perspective of Serbia's second-largest city and its iconic bridges spanning the Danube.
Lake Palić
A shallow, scenic lake near Subotica known for its unique ecosystem and Art Nouveau architecture near the shore.
Budapest Landmarks
Depending on the wind direction, the Parliament building and Buda Castle can often be seen during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern glare. Look out early (10-15 mins after takeoff) for the fortress at Novi Sad. During landing, if the plane approaches from the west, you will get an iconic view of the Danube winding through the city.

Danube-Sava Confluence
Immediate view after departure of the meeting point of these two major European rivers near Belgrade.
The Great Hungarian Plain
A vast, flat landscape of agricultural patchwork stretching toward the horizon, typical of the Alföld region.
Szeged Twin Towers
The prominent Votive Church of Szeged can be spotted as the flight crosses the Serbian-Hungarian border.
Kiskunság National Park
Look for the unique alkaline lakes and saline grasslands that characterize this protected Hungarian steppe.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' over the Great Hungarian Plain. It provides a great sense of the vastness of the Pannonian Basin, though landmarks are more sparse than on the left.
