GRZ โ†’ STR

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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, showcasing the rugged peaks of the Austrian Alps, the massive Dachstein glacier, and the expansive northern vista of Lake Constance.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Ennstal Alps

Dramatic limestone formations and deep gorges of the Gesรคuse National Park shortly after takeoff.

โ„๏ธ

Dachstein Massif

One of the most iconic peaks in the Alps, featuring a visible glacier and vertical rock faces.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Constance

A vast view of the 'Bodensee' with the silhouette of the Swiss Alps rising in the distance.

๐Ÿฐ

Sigmaringen Castle

A stunning Hohenzollern palace situated on the banks of the Danube River during the descent.

Sit in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction of the Alpine peaks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the southeast, providing excellent depth for photography. In winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the dark valleys is particularly striking.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
๐Ÿฐ

Graz Schlossberg

A clear view of the clock tower and the red roofs of Graz's UNESCO World Heritage city center.

๐Ÿ’ง

Chiemsee

Bavaria's largest lake, often referred to as the 'Bavarian Sea', with its famous Herreninsel island.

๐ŸŸ๏ธ

Munich Metro Area

The expansive urban sprawl of the Bavarian capital, including the distinct architecture of the Allianz Arena.

๐Ÿ—ผ

Stuttgart TV Tower

The world's first concrete telecommunications tower, marking the final approach into the destination.

The right side is perfect for spotting urban landmarks and the beautiful lakes of the Bavarian Alpine foreland. If the plane lands towards the west (Runway 25), the right side provides a superior view of the Stuttgart city basin and the surrounding vineyards. Check the weather for Munich to ensure clear visibility of the urban landmarks.
