FLR → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Peretola Airport (Florence) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Dolomites and often yields a better view of the Munich skyline and Allianz Arena on the final approach.
Mugello Valley
Rolling green hills and the famous racing circuit north of Florence.
Verona
The historic city center and the distinct loop of the Adige River.
The Dolomites
Unparalleled views of the jagged limestone peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain is often visible to the west of the flight path during descent.
Munich City Center
If landing toward the west, look for the Frauenkirche towers and the Allianz Arena.
The right side is superior for spotting the iconic jagged peaks of the Dolomites. During the winter, the snow contrast on these limestone formations is spectacular. If the wind is from the west, the approach into Munich over the city is one of the most scenic in Europe.
Florence Skyline
Aerial view of the Duomo and the Arno River immediately after takeoff from Peretola.
Tuscan-Emilian Apennines
Crossing the rugged mountain ridge that separates Tuscany from the Po Valley.
Lake Garda West
Glimpses of the steep cliffs of Limone sul Garda and the Sarca River valley.
Ötztal Alps
High-altitude views of massive glaciers and snow-capped peaks near the Austrian border.
Ammersee & Starnberger See
Large glacial lakes in the Bavarian Alpine Foreland visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for better views of the Tuscan coastline in the distance if the flight path veers west. Morning flights provide excellent soft lighting for the glaciers in the Austrian Alps. Watch for the shadows of the peaks stretching across the valleys.
