Search flights from KSC to VIE
High Tatras
Jagged, alpine peaks visible to the north, often snow-capped well into the spring season.
Low Tatras
Dense forest ridges and the peak of Ďumbier, the highest point of this mountain range.
Small Carpathians
Rolling hills covered in vineyards stretching from Bratislava toward the north.
Vienna Skyline
The DC Tower, Danube Tower, and the historic spire of St. Stephen's Cathedral during the final approach.
Danube River
The winding 'Blue Danube' as it flows from Vienna toward the Slovak border.
For the best views of the Slovak mountains, book a morning flight when the sun is to the south. The High Tatras are most impressive in winter and early spring when they are stark white against the blue sky. As the flight is very short (approx. 40-50 minutes), stay alert as the transition from the mountains to the Vienna basin happens quickly.

Slovak Karst National Park
Expansive limestone plateaus and deep canyons near the border with Hungary.
Lake Neusiedl
A massive, shallow steppe lake on the Austrian-Hungarian border, famous for its reed beds.
Forchtenstein Castle
A striking late-medieval fortification visible in the Rosalia Mountains during descent.
Pannonian Basin
Wide, flat agricultural plains that characterize the landscape of Western Hungary and Eastern Austria.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon, as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the landscape perfectly. Watch for the glittering surface of Neusiedler See about 10 minutes before landing. This side is also excellent for seeing the wind farms that dominate the landscape of the Burgenland region.
