Search flights from HAM to NAP
Elbe Estuary
Views of the sprawling Port of Hamburg and the winding Elbe river heading west.
The Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak is often visible in the distance during the crossing of the Alpine arc.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep cliffs at its northern end.
Florence & Tuscany
The red-tiled roofs of the Duomo and the rolling vineyards of the Chianti region.
Rome & Vatican
On clear days, the white marble of the Vittoriano and St. Peter's Basilica are visible to the west.
Gulf of Naples
Final approach views of the islands of Ischia and Procida floating in the azure sea.
Choose the right side for the most iconic Italian landmarks. This side is better for photography during morning flights as the sun is behind the aircraft. During the descent, look for the sharp silhouette of Capri if the plane turns over the sea for its final alignment.

Hamburg Panorama
Aerial view of the Alster lakes and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall shortly after departure.
The Harz Range
The Brocken peak and the densely forested northern German highlands.
Austrian Alps
Dramatic views of the Karwendel and Tux Alps as the flight crosses into Italy.
Apennine Spine
The rugged mountain backbone of Italy, often snow-capped in winter months.
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled view into the crater of the volcano during a standard approach to Runway 24.
Sit on the left for a direct look into the crater of Vesuvius if the aircraft is landing from the east. In the morning, the sun will be on this side, so expect some glare; late afternoon flights provide beautiful soft light on the Alpine peaks.
