Spot the distinct pyramid-shaped peak among the Pennine Alps.
Venice City
An incredible aerial view of the historic center, Grand Canal, and St. Mark's Square.
Venetian Lagoon

The right side is the 'money seat' for this route. For the best view of Venice, hope for an approach from the west on Runway 04. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Alpine peaks, though morning flights provide a beautiful shimmer on the lagoon waters.
