Search flights from BUD to BCN
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, recognizable by its distinct elongated shape and light green hue.
The Dolomites & Alps
Dramatic views of the jagged Italian peaks and the snow-capped Southern Alps.
Northern Italian Cities
The sprawling urban areas of Milan and the Po Valley are visible on clear days.
French Riviera
Aerial views of the coastline near Marseille and Montpellier as the plane heads south.
Montserrat Mountain
The famous multi-peaked rocky range located just outside Barcelona during the initial approach.
The right side is a geography lover's dream. Keep your window shade up for the first 30 minutes to catch Lake Balaton. In the winter months, the snow-covered Alps are the main attraction. For the best photography of the Pyrenees and Montserrat, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.

The Danube River
Expansive views of the river winding through the Hungarian landscape shortly after takeoff.
Adriatic Glimpses
Distant views of the Istrian Peninsula and the northern Adriatic coastline.
Gulf of Lion
A long stretch of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea while bypassing the French coast.
Barcelona Waterfront
A stunning perspective of the Sagrada Familia, Agbar Tower, and the city beaches during the final descent.
For the most dramatic arrival, sit on the left to see the Barcelona skyline. On flights arriving from the sea, you'll have a perfect view of the port and the W Hotel. To avoid the midday sun glare over the Mediterranean, try to book a morning or late evening flight.
