Rome City Center
Unmatched views of the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Tiber River shortly after takeoff from Ciampino.
Adriatic Coast
Panoramic views of the Italian east coast and the crystal waters near the city of Rimini.
High Tatra Mountains
The jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the Carpathian range forming the border between Slovakia and Poland.
Kraków Old Town
Views of the Vistula River and the historic Wawel Royal Castle during the final approach into KRK.

Tyrrhenian Coastline
Glittering views of the Lazio coast as the aircraft gains altitude and turns north.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone ridges of the Italian backbone stretching across the horizon.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible as a deep blue expanse to the west during the Alpine crossing.
Hohe Tauern
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in the Austrian Alps, including Grossglockner in the distance.
Sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the Alps without engine obstruction. This side is particularly beautiful during late afternoon flights when the mountains are bathed in golden light.
