Which side of the plane to sit from Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Nuremberg's historic city center immediately after takeoff and a more direct view of the Danube river crossing and the Alpine skyline on clear days.

Nuremberg Old Town
Direct view of the Pegnitz river, the market square, and the dense medieval architecture of the city center.
Norisring and Zeppelinfeld
The historic Dutzendteich area and the famous street racing circuit.
Franconian Lake District
Glittering views of the Rothsee and Great Brombachsee to the southwest.
Ingolstadt & Audi Forum
The industrial hub of Ingolstadt and the expansive Audi manufacturing facilities.
The Alpine Chain
On clear days, the entire northern range of the Alps, including the Zugspitze, is visible on the horizon.
Choose a window seat on the right (usually seat A) for the best urban views. This side is especially scenic during late afternoon flights when the setting sun illuminates the Bavarian landscape and the distant Alps.

Aerial perspective of the Kaiserburg and the northeastern edge of the old town walls.
Franconian Jura
Rolling limestone hills and dense forests of the Veldensteiner Forst region.

The winding Altmühl river and its characteristic steep limestone cliffs near Beilngries.
Landshut Skyline
