Search flights from GOA to MUC
Portofino & Tigullio
Stunning vistas of the Portofino peninsula and the colorful coastal towns of the Levant Riviera after takeoff.
Milan & Po Valley
The expansive urban grid of Milan visible across the flat, fertile plains of Lombardy.
The Dolomites
The unmistakable jagged limestone peaks and pale rock faces of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Tyrolean Alps
Deep green valleys and snow-capped peaks as the flight crosses over the Austrian border near Innsbruck.
Sit on the right for the best departure views of the Italian coast; the turn over the Ligurian Sea provides a perfect angle of the Riviera. During the middle of the flight, the right side offers more dramatic, jagged mountain scenery. In winter, the late afternoon light hitting the Dolomites creates a stunning 'Enrosadira' pink glow.

Western Ligurian Coast
Aerial views of the Riviera di Ponente and the Maritime Alps rising sharply from the Mediterranean.
Lake Como
The deep blue, Y-shaped glacial lake framed by steep forested mountains and luxury villas.
Bernina Massif
High-altitude views of the easternmost 4,000-meter peaks in the Alps and their sprawling glaciers.
Lake Starnberg
A prominent Bavarian landmark south of Munich, signaling the final approach into the airport.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for clearer photography. This side is better for spotting the major lakes of Northern Italy. As you descend into Munich, look for the sprawl of the city and the Allianz Arena if the flight path approaches from the west.
