Fruลกka Gora National Park
A beautiful forested mountain range rising from the Pannonian plain shortly after departing Belgrade.
Budapest Cityscape
Clear views of the Hungarian Parliament, the Danube River, and the historic Buda Castle district.
Lake Balaton
Visible in the distance to the west, Central Europe's largest lake appears as a turquoise sliver on clear days.
Western Carpathians
Dramatic views of the rugged ridges and green valleys as the flight crosses into Slovakia.
Krakow and Wawel Castle
As the plane enters Polish airspace, the historic city of Krakow is often visible along the Vistula river.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. About 25-35 minutes after takeoff, keep a close watch for Budapest; if the flight path is favorable, the city center is perfectly framed. In winter, the contrast between the frozen Danube and the city lights during evening flights is spectacular.
