Search flights from BUD to BGY
Tihany Peninsula
A sharp view of the historic abbey and volcanic hills jutting into Lake Balaton shortly after takeoff.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the UNESCO-listed Italian Alps.
Monte Baldo
The massive mountain ridge flanking the eastern side of Lake Garda, often snow-capped in winter.
Upper Lake Garda
The dramatic, narrow northern end of the lake where the water is squeezed between towering vertical cliffs.
Bergamo Citta Alta
As the plane aligns for BGY, you can see the medieval walled city perched on the hill overlooking the modern town.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the best lighting on the Alps, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the southwest. Ensure your window is clean, as the contrast between the white snow and blue sky is a prime photo opportunity.

Lake Balaton
Expansive views of Central Europe's largest lake, specifically the southern resort towns like Siofok.
Venetian Lagoon
On a clear day and southern routing, the distinct shape of Venice and its islands can be seen in the distance.
Verona
The historic city of Romeo and Juliet, including the circular Roman Arena, is often visible during the initial descent.
Southern Lake Garda
View of the Sirmione peninsula reaching into the wide, flat southern basin of the lake.
Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Venetian coastline in the distance. This side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun reflecting off the Adriatic Sea.
