Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of views including the historic Prague skyline at takeoff, the deep heart of the Tyrolean Alps, and a panoramic approach overlooking Lake Garda before landing in Bergamo.
Prague Historic Center
Aerial perspective of the Vltava River and the red-roofed Old Town shortly after takeoff from PRG.
Tyrolean Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Austrian peaks in the region of Tyrol during the cruise phase.
The Dolomites
The jagged, iconic limestone formations of the Italian Dolomites are visible to the southeast.
Lake Garda
A magnificent view of Italy's largest lake, appearing as a deep blue fjord-like expanse during the descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for the Alpine glare. During the winter months, the contrast between the white peaks and the blue lakes is particularly striking.
Šumava National Park
Dense, dark green forests stretching across the Czech-German border region of the Bohemian Forest.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain is often visible to the west as the flight crosses into Austrian airspace.
Lake Iseo
A smaller, emerald-colored gem featuring the steep Monte Isola, seen just before reaching Bergamo.
Città Alta (Bergamo)
A glimpse of the medieval hilltop 'Upper City' of Bergamo during the final approach into BGY.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the plane, illuminating the Alps and the Italian lakes without glare. Watch closely in the final 10 minutes of the flight; the proximity to the Prealps provides a sense of speed and scale as the plane descends toward the Lombardy plains.
