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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Eastern Alps and a spectacular crossing over Lake Constance (Bodensee) before descending into Stuttgart.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🍇

Mugello Valley

The picturesque hills and vineyards of northern Tuscany as you cross the Apennine range.

❄️

Rhaetian Alps

High-altitude views of the snow-capped peaks spanning the border of Italy, Switzerland, and Austria.

💧

Lake Constance

An expansive view of the 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often crossed at cruise altitude.

⛰️

Swabian Jura

The limestone plateaus and dramatic escarpments of the Schwäbische Alb during the descent into Stuttgart.

Sit on the right side to maximize your view of Lake Constance. For photographers, winter flights offer the most contrast on the Alpine peaks, while late afternoon flights provide beautiful golden lighting over the Swabian landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏛️

Florence Panoramas

Clear views of the Duomo and the Arno River valley immediately following takeoff from Peretola.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Aerial perspectives of the massive peaks of the Bernese Oberland visible in the distance across the horizon.

🌲

The Black Forest

Deep green canopy and rolling terrain of the Schwarzwald as the flight enters German airspace.

🏰

Hohenzollern Castle

If the flight path trends west, you may spot this iconic hilltop castle perched on the edge of the Swabian Alb.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the initial climb out of Florence for the best city shots before the plane turns north.
