Search flights from BUD to STR
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake appears shortly after departure from Budapest as you head west.
Austrian Alps
Continuous panoramic views of the rugged Northern Limestone Alps throughout the mid-flight cruise.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, visible during the initial descent phase.
Black Forest
The dense evergreen canopy of the southern Schwarzwald as the plane enters German airspace towards Stuttgart.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise lighting up the Alpine peaks. In winter, these mountains are particularly spectacular when covered in snow. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for the clearest view of the lakes.

Budapest Skyline
Excellent views of the Hungarian Parliament and the Danube's historic bridges during the initial climb.
Vienna
The plane often tracks north of the Austrian capital, providing a broad overview of the city and its suburbs.
Ulm Minster
The world's tallest church tower can be spotted standing out against the Swabian landscape near the final descent.
Stuttgart City
Depending on the landing pattern, the city center and the iconic TV tower are often visible on this side.
The right side is best for urban photography, especially during takeoff from Budapest. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Swabian Jura mountains and the distinctive industrial landscape of the Neckar valley.
