Austrian Alps

Vienna Skyline
If landing from the south, the left side provides views of the city center and St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun while enjoying the sunset over the Adriatic. Keep a close watch for Mount Olympus approximately 30-40 minutes after departure. This side is also preferred for seeing the dense city layout of Vienna during the final approach on standard landing patterns.
