FCO → BZO
Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Bolzano Airport (Bolzano)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views, the right side is preferred for its superior perspective of the Apennine Mountains and the iconic jagged peaks of the Dolomites during the final approach into the Adige Valley.

Rome Cityscape
Depending on takeoff direction, distant views of the Vatican City and the historic center are often visible.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'backbone' of Italy, featuring snow-capped peaks in winter and lush greenery in summer.
Lake Trasimeno
The expansive, shallow waters of Umbria's largest lake dotted with three small islands.
Bologna Skyline
The distinctive terracotta roofs and medieval towers of the 'Red City' as you cross the Po Valley.
The Rosengarten Group
The spectacular massif that overlooks Bolzano, famous for its vertical pale rock faces.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Enrosadira' sunset effect if flying in the late afternoon, where the Dolomite limestone glows bright pink. During the steep descent into Bolzano, keep your camera ready for the close-range views of the Schlern massif.

Tyrrhenian Coast
Bird's-eye views of the Mediterranean coastline and the port of Civitavecchia shortly after takeoff.
Lake Bracciano
A stunning volcanic crater lake located just north of Rome, surrounded by medieval towns.
Tuscan Vineyards
The rolling green hills and geometric agricultural patterns of the Val d'Orcia region.
Lake Garda
The southern basin of Italy's largest lake, including the thin Sirmione peninsula stretching into the water.
Brenta Dolomites
The dramatic western limestone towers of the Dolomites appearing as the aircraft begins its descent.
Book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion. Afternoon flights are best for this side as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the turquoise waters of Lake Garda and the Alpine foothills with soft, direct light.
