Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a world-class view of Venice's historic center and the surrounding lagoon islands during the final descent, which is the definitive highlight of this flight route.
Oresund Bridge
A stunning view of the bridge-tunnel connection between Denmark and Sweden shortly after departure.
Berlin
On many flight paths, the sprawl of the German capital and its surrounding lakes are visible to the east.
Hohe Tauern
Panoramic views of the Austrian Alps, including glaciated peaks like the Grossglockner.
Venetian Lagoon
The intricate patterns of the salt marshes and islands of the North Adriatic.
Venice Historic Center
The iconic red-roofed 'fish' shape of Venice, including the Grand Canal and St. Mark's Square.
For the most iconic view of Venice, choose a seat on the left side and hope for a landing approach from the east. If the plane circles over the Adriatic, the left side gets a front-row seat to the historic center. Mid-afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Alps, while morning flights offer a glistening view of the lagoon.
Zealand Coast
Beautiful views of the Danish coastline and the southern islands as you leave Scandinavian airspace.
Munich
The Bavarian capital and its distinctive Allianz Arena are often visible on a clear day.
Zugspitze
A distant view of Germany's highest peak as the aircraft crosses into the Alpine region.
The Dolomites
Spectacular, jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps, characterized by their unique pale color.
Treviso
The charming historic town and its network of canals just north of the Venetian mainland.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer the rugged geology of the Dolomites and the Bavarian landscape. If the flight arrives at sunset, the right side enjoys a beautiful glow over the mountain peaks. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Alps, as the transition from the German plains to the Italian mountains is very abrupt and visually striking.
