Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for the approach into Venice, offering a world-class aerial view of the historic city center, the Grand Canal, and the intricate lagoon islands just before touchdown.

Rhine-Ruhr Panorama
Early in the flight, catch views of the industrial heart of Germany and the winding Rhine River valley.
Lake Constance
A massive alpine lake bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, often appearing crystal blue from altitude.
Tyrolean Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged Austrian peaks and deep valleys as you cross into the alpine region.
The Dolomites
The unique limestone formations of the Italian Dolomites provide a dramatic, vertical landscape shortly before descent.
Venice Historic Center
On the standard approach to Runway 04, the left side offers a stunning view of the fish-shaped main island and St. Mark's Square.
Book a window seat well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Venice during the final 5 minutes of the flight. For the best photography of the Alps, a morning flight provides excellent front-lighting on the peaks. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the 'S' curve of the Grand Canal which is most visible from this side.

The Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies stretching across southwestern Germany offer a lush green contrast.
Swiss Central Alps
Distances views of the high Swiss massifs, including glaciers and some of Europe's highest peaks.
Lake Garda
Depending on the specific airway, the northern tip of Italy's largest lake may be visible to the south.
Lido di Venezia
The long, thin barrier islands that protect the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.
Port of Venice
Industrial docks and cruise ship terminals visible as the plane maneuvers for its final landing path.
The right side is excellent for viewing the expansive Alpine range during the cruise phase. If the wind dictates a landing from the north (Runway 22), the right side will actually get the better view of the city center. Always check the 'METAR' or wind direction for VCE airport on the day of travel to predict landing direction; however, the left side remains the statistically safer bet for the iconic Venice view.
