Taurus Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks of the Anti-Taurus and central Taurus ranges in Turkey shortly after takeoff.
The Danube River
Follow the winding blue path of Europe's second-longest river through Serbia and Hungary.
Austrian Alps
Stunning panoramic views of the snow-capped Northern Limestone Alps during the cruise and initial descent.
Lake Chiemsee
Bavaria's largest lake, often visible on the approach, featuring the Herrenchiemsee Palace on its island.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing the Alps. The descent into Munich from the east often provides a spectacular parallel view of the Alpine range to the south. In winter, the snow coverage makes the Turkish and Austrian peaks particularly photogenic.

Budapest
On clear days, the distinct layout of the Hungarian capital and its iconic bridges can be spotted.
Allianz Arena
Munich's famous luminous football stadium is often visible on the right during the final approach to Runway 26.
The right side is excellent for spotting the Black Sea coastline and major Eastern European cities like Bucharest or Budapest. If the wind requires a landing toward the west (Runway 26L/R), the right side provides the best chance to see Munich's city center and the distinctive architecture of the Allianz Arena.
