Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a premium vantage point for several iconic Central European capitals, including potential views of Budapest and Bratislava, as well as a more favorable perspective of the Prague cityscape during the final approach.
Budapest Skyline
A distant but often clear view of the Danube winding through the Hungarian capital, featuring the Parliament building.
Bratislava Castle
The distinct rectangular castle and the UFO bridge of the Slovak capital are often visible when flying over the Slovak-Hungarian border.
Pálava Biosphere
Striking limestone formations and white cliffs rising abruptly from the South Moravian plains.
Brno Cityscape
Clear views of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul and the Špilberk Fortress dominating the Moravian landscape.
Prague Approach
When landing on Runway 24, this side provides a stunning panoramic view of the Vltava River loops and the historic city center.
The right side is the best for urban geography. For the highest chance of seeing Prague’s Old Town, hope for a landing on Runway 24. Be prepared with your camera approximately 15 minutes before landing as the plane descends over the scenic Moravian wine region and toward the Vltava valley.
New Belgrade
Immediate views of the Sava river confluence and the modern high-rise architecture of the Serbian capital after takeoff.
Lake Balaton
The long, slender turquoise expanse of Central Europe's largest lake is visible as you traverse western Hungary.
Austrian Alpine Foothills
On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps can be seen far to the southwest.
Šumava National Park
Dense, rolling forest landscapes characterizing the border regions between Czechia, Austria, and Germany.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, reducing glare on the window. This side is ideal for nature lovers wanting to spot the 'Hungarian Sea' (Balaton) and the rolling hills of the Bohemian Forest. Use a polarized filter for photos to capture the deep blues of the lakes.
