Search flights from BRI to VCE
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dramatic white limestone cliffs and lush green forests.
Tremiti Islands
A small cluster of islands surrounded by vibrant turquoise waters in the Adriatic Sea.
Mount Conero
A rare high-coast promontory near Ancona that breaks the otherwise sandy Adriatic shoreline.
Venetian Lagoon
The intricate ecosystem of salt marshes, mudflats, and the islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
Venice Historic Center
An iconic view of the Rialto, St. Mark's Square, and the Grand Canal during the final descent into VCE.
Sit behind the wing for the best photography of the Venetian Lagoon. The descent into VCE is highly dependent on wind direction; if landing on Runway 04R/L, the right side provides a direct view of Venice. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare off the sea, but the payoff during the lagoon approach is worth it.

Tavoliere delle Puglie
The 'granary of Italy', a vast and flat agricultural plain that dominates northern Puglia.
Gran Sasso Massif
The highest peaks of the Apennine Mountains, often snow-capped, visible as you fly past the Abruzzo region.
San Marino
On clear days, the silhouette of Mount Titano and the world's oldest republic can be seen inland.
Via Emilia Corridor
The dense string of historical cities like Rimini, Cesena, and Forlì along the ancient Roman route.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and illuminate the Apennine peaks. This side is also excellent during sunset flights as the sun dips behind the mountains, creating dramatic silhouettes and 'golden hour' lighting over the Italian interior.
