Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure over the Dubrovnik coastline and the historic Old Town, followed by a dense panorama of the Dalmatian islands and the high peaks of the Austrian Alps.
Dubrovnik Old Town
A breathtaking view of the walled city and the island of Lokrum immediately after takeoff from Runway 29.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Aerial patterns of islands like Korčula, Hvar, and Brač scattered across the turquoise coastal waters.
Velebit Range
The rugged, rocky peaks of the Velebit mountains running parallel to the Croatian coastline.
Hohe Tauern Alps
Glacier-capped peaks of the High Tauern range in Austria, including views near the Grossglockner.
Swabian Jura
The forested plateaus and steep escarpments of the 'Schwäbische Alb' during the final approach into STR.
The right side is essential for the iconic Dubrovnik city view on departure; however, this depends on the wind direction. If the plane takes off toward the northwest (Runway 29), you will see the Old Town perfectly. In winter, this side offers the most dramatic views of the snow-covered Austrian Alpine chain.
Adriatic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and distant cargo ships during the climb.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distant outline of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted to the west.
The Dolomites
Jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites visible as the flight crosses into Central Europe.
Lake Constance
A stunning view of the 'Bodensee' where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet during the descent.
Ulm Minster
The world's tallest church spire is often visible in the distance as the plane turns toward Stuttgart.
Sit on the left for better lighting on afternoon flights as the sun moves to the west. This side provides a great perspective of Lake Constance (Bodensee) during the initial descent into the Stuttgart region. Look for the distinct blue expanse of the lake approximately 20-25 minutes before landing.
