Search flights from FCO to VNO
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'backbone' of Italy provides dramatic terrain immediately after departure from Rome.
Adriatic Coast
Clear views of the turquoise waters and white beaches of the Italian Riviera near Rimini and Ancona.
The Dolomites
The most spectacular part of the trip, featuring the vertical walls and pale peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Vienna
Bird's-eye views of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube River as you head toward Poland.
Krakow
Excellent views of the historic Polish city and the nearby Vistula River during the later stages of the flight.
The right side is best for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft and minimize window glare. Pay close attention around 45 minutes after takeoff for the transition from the Adriatic Sea into the high Dolomites peaks.

Lake Bracciano
A stunning volcanic crater lake located just north of Rome shortly after takeoff.
Central Alps
Expansive views of the high glaciated peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps to the north.
Prague
The sprawling urban landscape and historic center of the Czech capital are often visible mid-flight.
Masurian Lake District
A glimpse of the dense forests and thousands of lakes in northeastern Poland before entering Lithuanian airspace.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the Alps. This side is also better for seeing the curvature of the Tuscan coastline in the distance during the initial climb.
