Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the clear winner for landmark seekers, offering prime views of Budapest, Bratislava, and the spectacular sandstone formations of Saxon Switzerland.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Budapest

A magnificent view of the Hungarian Parliament, the Chain Bridge, and the Buda Castle complex.

🏯

Bratislava

The Slovakian capital and its distinctive white hilltop castle overlooking the Danube.

🌲

Little Carpathians

The beginning of the Carpathian arc, featuring dense forests and vineyard-covered slopes.

🗿

Saxon Switzerland

Bizarre and dramatic Elbe Sandstone formations and deep canyons near the Czech-German border.

⛪

Dresden

The 'Florence on the Elbe' featuring its reconstructed Baroque skyline and the Frauenkirche.

Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. Budapest is the star highlight, visible early in the flight; be ready to look out 15-20 minutes after departing Belgrade. As the plane descends into Berlin, the lakes of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park are prominent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea' is easily identifiable by its unique turquoise-green shallow waters.

🏰

Vienna

A broad view of the Austrian capital, its historic center, and the winding Danube canal.

🏙️

Prague

The Vltava River and the red-roofed cityscape of the Czech capital appear shortly before the German border.

🏔️

Ore Mountains

Verdant, rolling mountain ranges that serve as the natural border between Czechia and Saxony.

✈️

Berlin Outskirts

Forests and lakes of the Brandenburg region leading into the urban sprawl of Berlin.

The left side is perfect for evening flights to witness the sunset over Central Europe. Look for Lake Balaton approximately 25 minutes after takeoff. During the winter, the snow-capped Ore Mountains provide a beautiful high-contrast landscape.
