FLRDUS

Which side of the plane to sit from Peretola Airport (Florence) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?

Our Recommendation
9.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior departure view of Florence's historic center and a better angle for Lake Constance and the central Swiss Alps massif.

Right Side Highlights
9.1
⛪

Florence City Center

Unparalleled views of the Duomo and historic landmarks immediately following takeoff from Peretola.

💧

Lake Constance

A magnificent view of Europe's third-largest lake where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.

🏔️

Central Alpine Peaks

The most direct views of the massive snow-capped ranges of the central Swiss and Austrian Alps.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyview

A clear view of the Mainhattan skyscraper cluster and the busy Frankfurt airport hub from cruising altitude.

Essential for capturing the iconic Florence skyline right after departure. Morning flights provide the best natural illumination for the turquoise waters of Lake Constance.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Bernese Alps

Breathtaking views of the high Swiss peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau from a western perspective.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense evergreen canopy and rolling hills of southwestern Germany stretch out below.

🏰

Rhine Gorge

Sightings of medieval castles perched on the cliffs of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley during descent.

🏙️

Cologne Skyline

A distant but clear view of the twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral as the flight nears Düsseldorf.

Opt for this side on afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Rhine. Look for the white marble peaks of the Apuan Alps shortly after takeoff.
