MUCLWO

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Lviv International Airport (Lvov)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the majestic Northern Alps shortly after departure and the dramatic, jagged peaks of the High Tatras during the mid-flight phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Northern Limestone Alps

Breathtaking views of the Alpine ridge extending southwards from Munich towards Austria.

🌊

Chiemsee Lake

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake is a stunning sight shortly after takeoff from MUC.

⛰️

High Tatras

The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, featuring sharp granite peaks on the Polish-Slovak border.

🌾

Galician Landscapes

The rolling hills and agricultural patchwork of Western Ukraine as you approach Lviv.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Alps and Tatras without obstruction. Morning flights are ideal as the southern sun illuminates the mountain faces, providing excellent contrast for photography. Watch closely about 40 minutes into the flight for the High Tatras.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌲

Bavarian and Bohemian Forests

Expansive green canopies spanning the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

🏰

Distant Prague

On clear days, the spires of the Czech capital may be visible on the northern horizon.

🏗️

Silesian Urban Area

The dense industrial and urban landscape of Katowice and the surrounding Upper Silesian region.

⛪

Krakow Old Town

A view of the historic Polish city, the Vistula River, and the iconic Wawel Castle.

Sit on the left for better views of the urban progression across Central Europe. This side is particularly interesting during evening flights as the lights of Katowice and Krakow provide a brilliant grid pattern below.
