Search flights from BRU to LJU
The Ardennes
Vast stretches of dense forest covering southern Belgium and northern Luxembourg.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Central Alpine Ridge
Breathtaking, close-up views of the snow-capped main chain of the Austrian and Swiss Alps.
The Dolomites
On clear days, the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Dolomites are visible on the distant horizon.
Mount Triglav
Slovenia's highest peak and national symbol, located in the heart of the Julian Alps.
Ljubljana Basin
A scenic view of the Slovenian capital and its surrounding marshes during the final glide.
The right side is the clear winner for Alpine enthusiasts. You'll pass directly south of Lake Constance before tracking along the southern edge of the main Alpine ridge. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the peaks of the Julian Alps and Mount Triglav as you enter Slovenian airspace. Avoid sitting directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountain valleys.

Brussels Suburbs
Aerial views of the Tervuren forest and the outskirts of the European capital shortly after takeoff.
Luxembourg City
Look down for the deep river valleys and the historic fortifications of the Grand Duchy's capital.
Bavarian Foothills
Rolling green hills and the city of Munich often visible on clear days to the north.
Hohe Tauern
The northern limestone Alps and the high peaks of the Austrian federal states.
Kamnik-Savinja Alps
Rugged limestone peaks that dominate the northern horizon during the final approach to Ljubljana.
Sit on the left if you want a better chance of spotting the northern edges of the Alps and the urban centers of southern Germany. This side is typically shielded from the most intense afternoon sun on this southeastern trajectory, providing better lighting for photography of the Karawanks range during the descent.
