MUCWRO

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the distant northern Alpine range during departure, the heart of the Bohemian Forest, and the iconic Sniezka peak in the Giant Mountains before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

The Alpine Fringe

On clear days, looking south during the initial climb provides a stunning panorama of the Bavarian Alps on the horizon.

🌲

Šumava National Park

Fly over the 'Green Roof of Europe,' showcasing dense spruce forests and the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

🏔️

Śnieżka Peak

The highest point of the Karkonosze range (1,603m) is clearly visible with its unique saucer-shaped observatory on top.

🏙️

Wrocław Cityscape

As the plane lines up for runway 29, the Sky Tower and the many bridges of the 'Venice of the North' appear to the right.

This is the preferred side for photographers. In winter, the snow-covered Sudetes mountains are a major highlight. For the best views of the Alps at takeoff, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view.

Left Side Highlights
6.3
🏰

Regensburg & Danube

Visible shortly after departure from Munich, look for the medieval city layout and the winding Danube river.

🇨🇿

Prague Panorama

Depending on the specific airway corridor, the Czech capital and its spires can often be spotted in the distance to the north.

⛰️

Jizera Mountains

Rugged granite peaks and peat bogs along the Czech-Polish border as the aircraft begins its descent.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep an eye out for the industrial landscapes of the Legnica-Głogów Copper Belt during the final approach into Wroclaw.
