EVNVIE

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the iconic and most dramatic view of the flight: the massive peaks of Mount Ararat shortly after takeoff from Yerevan, followed by the southern panoramas of the Danube and Budapest.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🗻

Mount Ararat

Incredible view of the snow-capped Greater and Lesser Ararat peaks immediately after departure from EVN.

🌊

Pontic Mountains

Views across the Black Sea toward the rugged northern coastline of Turkey.

🏙️

Bucharest

Aerial views of the Romanian capital's urban layout and the surrounding Wallachian Plain.

🇭🇺

Budapest Skyline

A stunning perspective of the Hungarian capital divided by the Danube River during the mid-flight transit.

🍷

Lake Neusiedl

The vast, shallow steppe lake and the famous vineyards of Burgenland on the final approach into Vienna.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Ararat; morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. As you approach Vienna, keep your camera ready for the contrast between Lake Neusiedl and the surrounding wind farms.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Greater Caucasus

Distant but majestic views of the highest mountain range in Europe bordering Georgia and Russia.

🏖️

Batumi Coastline

The sparkling Georgian coastline and the modern architecture of Batumi as you leave land for the Black Sea.

⛰️

Southern Carpathians

Rugged peaks and deep forests of the Transylvanian Alps as the plane crosses into Romania.

🏰

Bratislava

The Slovakian capital and its hilltop castle are often visible shortly before landing at VIE.

🚜

Lower Austria

The patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and small villages characteristic of the region surrounding Vienna.

The right side is excellent for mountain enthusiasts looking to spot the Caucasus and northern Carpathians. For evening flights, this side experiences less direct glare from the sun, making it easier to take photos of the landscape.
