Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic perspective of the winding Elbe river, the dramatic sandstone formations of Saxon Switzerland, and a superior view of the North Sea coastline during the descent into Denmark.

Left Side Highlights

The Danube Bend

Shortly after takeoff, view the dramatic curve of the Danube river near VisegrΓ‘d as it cuts through the mountains.

πŸ§—

Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains on the Czech-German border feature unique pillar-like rock formations and deep canyons.

🏰

Dresden Skyline

Clear views of the 'Florence on the Elbe', showcasing the Frauenkirche and the historic center's unique architecture.

βš“

Hamburg & the Elbe

As you move north, the sprawling port of Hamburg and the wide Elbe estuary are visible on clear days.

🌊

Wadden Sea Coast

During the final approach, look for the unique tidal flats and wetlands of the North Sea coastline.

To avoid sun glare, book the left side for morning flights. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are best viewed roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches Billund from the west, you will get a perfect view of the Danish wind farms in the North Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ›οΈ

Budapest City Center

Depending on the runway, you may get a sweeping view of the Hungarian Parliament and the Buda Castle complex upon ascent.

Berlin Metropolitan Area

The flight path often passes near the German capital, offering views of the TV Tower and the surrounding lake districts.

Kiel Canal

Watch for the world's most frequented artificial waterway connecting the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.

πŸ–οΈ

Baltic Coastline

Views of the white sandy beaches of the German Baltic coast and the various islands of the Danish archipelago.

πŸŒ‰

Little Belt Bridge

On the descent, you may spot the bridges connecting the island of Funen with the Jutland peninsula.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from BUD, as the right side usually gets the iconic view of the Parliament building if the wind is from the North.
