LJUBEG

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps during departure and follows the scenic path of the Danube River and Fruška Gora as you enter Serbian airspace.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Kamnik-Savinja Alps

Dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Southern Limestone Alps immediately north of Ljubljana Airport.

🌲

Savinja Valley

Lush green landscapes and the historic city of Celje nestled among rolling hills.

⛰️

Medvednica Mountain

The wooded ridge bordering Zagreb, marking the transition from the Alps to the Pannonian Basin.

🍇

Fruška Gora National Park

A standalone mountain island in the Pannonian Plain, famous for its historic monasteries and vineyards.

🌊

Danube River

The massive blue artery of Europe winding through the plains of Vojvodina toward Belgrade.

Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is particularly impressive in winter when the Slovenian Alps are fully covered in snow. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Danube confluence during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Ljubljana Cityscape

Views of the Ljubljana Castle and the emerald-green Ljubljanica river shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Zagreb Panorama

A wide view of the Croatian capital’s urban sprawl and the cathedral spires in the distance.

🐍

Sava River Bends

Hypnotic meanders of the Sava river as it snakes across the flat plains of Slavonia and Syrmia.

🏢

Belgrade Waterfront

The modern skyline of New Belgrade and the high-rise 'Belgrade Waterfront' towers during landing.

The right side is ideal for catching the urban layout of Zagreb and Belgrade. If the flight is in the late afternoon, be prepared for some glare as the sun sets to the west. On the final approach into BEG (Runway 12), this side provides a stunning view of the Ada Bridge and the city center.
