Search flights from OTP to VRN
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the 'Transylvanian Alps,' including the high peaks of the Făgăraș massif.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its long, slender shape and turquoise tint.
Julian Alps
Jagged, snow-capped peaks spanning the border regions of Slovenia and Northeast Italy.
The Dolomites
Distinctive pale limestone towers and steep vertical walls visible to the north during arrival.
Lake Garda
A stunning close-up of Italy's largest lake and the Sirmione peninsula just before landing.
The right side is the winner for mountain lovers. You will track along the southern edge of the Alps for the final third of the flight. The 'grand finale' occurs during the descent into VRN, where Lake Garda usually appears in full view. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountain faces from the south/east.

Belgrade
View the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers as you cross into Serbian airspace.
Adriatic Coastline
The striking contrast of deep blue water against the white limestone cliffs of Croatia.
Dalmatian Islands
A bird's-eye view of the dense archipelago scattered along the Croatian shore.
Venice Lagoon
The unmistakable outline of the floating city and its surrounding marshes during the descent.
Po Valley
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields defining the fertile plains of Northern Italy.
Choose the left side if you are a fan of coastal geography. The transit across the Adriatic Sea is the highlight here. On a clear day, the descent into Verona often passes south of Venice, providing a distant but clear view of the historic center. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh southern sun glare.
