Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Austrian and Italian Alps, including a prime vantage point of Lake Garda and the Tyrrhenian coastline during the descent into Rome.
Bohemian Forest
Dense green landscapes along the Czech-German border visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Zillertal Alps
Rugged, snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys as the flight crosses the heart of the Austrian Alps.
Lake Garda
A breathtaking view of Italy's largest lake, easily recognizable by its narrow northern fjord-like shape.
Po Valley
The fertile plains of northern Italy, dotted with historic cities like Parma and Modena.
Tyrrhenian Coast
During the descent, enjoy views of the blue Mediterranean waters and the coastal towns of Lazio north of Rome.
The right side is superior for Alpine scenery and the iconic Lake Garda. Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be moving toward the west/rear of the aircraft.
Prague Cityscape
Shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the Vltava River and the historic towers of Prague's Old Town.
Hohe Tauern Peaks
Views of the highest mountains in Austria, including the Grossglockner massif, appearing sharp on the eastern horizon.
Venetian Lagoon
On a clear day, the shimmering waters of the Adriatic and the distinct shape of Venice are visible in the distance.
Lake Trasimeno
As you traverse Umbria, this large, shallow lake stands out against the rolling green hills of central Italy.
The Eternal City
Depending on the wind and approach pattern, the left side may see the Colosseum and Vatican City during the final turn toward Fiumicino.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Apennine mountain range isn't obstructed. Morning flights are best for the left side as the sun will be behind the plane, lighting up the Italian landscape perfectly.
