Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Zagreb Airport (Zagreb)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a world-class view of the Venetian Lagoon and the sprawling Julian Alps, providing a more diverse landscape of historic cities and dramatic peaks.
Venice and the Lagoon
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the historic center of Venice, its canals, and the surrounding islands shortly after takeoff.
Julian Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Alps along the Italian-Slovenian border dominate the horizon to the north.
Gulf of Trieste
The northernmost point of the Adriatic Sea, where the rugged coastline meets the deep blue water.
Slovenian Karst Plateau
Distinctive limestone landscapes and dense green forests characteristic of the region around Postojna.
Book a seat on the left and try to fly during the morning to avoid glare while viewing the Alps. The descent into Zagreb often provides a great view of the Medvednica mountain range just before landing. Look out about 15 minutes after takeoff for the unmistakable shape of Venice.
Po River Delta
The intricate network of waterways and wetlands where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.
Istrian Coastline
The rugged western shore of Croatia, featuring charming coastal towns like Rovinj and Pula.
Kvarner Gulf Islands
Aerial views of the large islands of Cres and Krk, recognizable by their white limestone and turquoise bays.
Učka Nature Park
The prominent mountain ridge that separates the Istrian peninsula from the rest of Croatia.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as the golden hour light reflects beautifully off the Adriatic Sea and the limestone islands. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Rijeka for excellent views of the Croatian archipelago.
