BEG โ†’ SPU

Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Split Airport (Split)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Dinaric Alps, the right side is superior for its perspective of the Belgrade city center upon takeoff and the breathtaking panoramic approach over the Dalmatian islands and Split city before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿฐ

Belgrade Fortress

Clear views of Kalemegdan Park and the historic old town of Belgrade during the initial climb.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Mount Romanija

The massive limestone plateau and cliffs located just east of Sarajevo are often visible mid-flight.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

Stunning views of the islands of Braฤ, Hvar, and ล olta as the aircraft descends toward the Adriatic coast.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Split City & Diocletian's Palace

On the final approach to runway 05, you get a direct view of the historic city center and Marjan Hill.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for the approach into Split. During the descent, the plane typically banks over the islands, offering a postcard-perfect view of the turquoise Adriatic. Try to book an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the Croatian coast, as the sun begins to set over the sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Sava and Danube Confluence

Aerial view of where the two major rivers meet near the Great War Island shortly after departure.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Dinaric Alps

Dramatic views of the rugged, limestone peaks and deep valleys of central Bosnia and Herzegovina.

๐Ÿ’ง

Neretva River Basin

The striking emerald-green waters of the Neretva river winding through mountainous terrain.

Sit on the left for better views of the southern Dinaric range. On a clear day, you might spot the peaks of Durmitor in the far distance to the south. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Bosnian mountains.
