Prague
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible while cruising over the Czech Republic.
Central Alps
A spectacular panorama of snow-capped peaks and glaciers near the Austrian-Italian border.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep Alpine foothills.
Tuscan Landscape
The iconic scenery of vineyards, olive groves, and the city of Florence in the distance.
Lake Bolsena
A striking circular volcanic crater lake located in the northern Lazio region.
Tyrrhenian Coast
Beautiful views of the Mediterranean coastline and beaches during the final descent into FCO.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, preventing glare. Keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the Alpine crossing. On approach, if the plane lands from the north, you will have a perfect view of the coastline and the Roman countryside.

Adriatic Coastline

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the mountains. It offers a great view of the Danube corridor, but be mindful of the sun glare during the midday portion of the flight. It is particularly good for spotting the Gran Sasso massif in the distance.
