Historic Rome
Clear views of the Tiber River, Vatican City, and the Colosseum shortly after taking off from FCO.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone peaks of the Abruzzo region, often covered in snow during winter and spring.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and numerous islands along the Croatian coast near Zadar.
Sava River
The winding path of the Sava river as it guides the aircraft toward the Serbian capital.
New Belgrade
The brutalist architecture and modern blocks of Novi Beograd visible just before touchdown at BEG.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when traveling eastward. During the descent into Belgrade, keep your camera ready for the dramatic point where the Sava meets the Danube. If the flight departs toward the sea, you will make a 180-degree turn providing a panoramic view of the Roman coastline.
