Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Peretola Airport (Florence)?

Our Recommendation

The right side provides an unparalleled view of Germany's highest peaks followed by a spectacular fly-by of Lake Garda and the rolling Tuscan landscape.

Right Side Highlights

💧

Lake Starnberg

A large, shimmering glacial lake located just south of Munich.

🏔️

Zugspitze Massif

Germany's highest mountain peak and the surrounding Wetterstein range.

🛣️

Brenner Pass

The deep, winding valley that serves as a historic transit corridor through the Alps.

⛵

Lake Garda

A stunning aerial perspective of Italy's largest lake, often showing its deep blue water against mountain backdrops.

🍇

Tuscan Countryside

The classic scenery of rolling hills and vineyards as the flight prepares for landing.

The right side is the winner for scenery, offering views of the Zugspitze about 15 minutes into the flight and a perfect angle of Lake Garda mid-route. During the steep approach into Peretola Airport, this side often offers views of the Arno river valley.

Left Side Highlights

🌲

Bavarian Foothills

Lush green forests and small villages visible immediately after departing Munich.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps stretching across the eastern horizon.

Po Valley

A massive, geometric patchwork of fertile agricultural land in Northern Italy.

⛰️

Northern Apennines

Dense forests and mist-covered ridges as the plane crosses into the Tuscany region.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights and a closer look at the UNESCO-listed Dolomites. This side is also excellent for viewing the hills of Fiesole during the final descent into Florence.
