Prague & Central Bohemia
Aerial views of the Vltava River and the red roofs of Prague shortly after takeoff from PRG.
The Vistula River
A clear view of Poland's longest river as the flight path crosses toward the Russian border.
Northern Ural Mountains
The dramatic transition between Europe and Asia, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep valleys.
Western Siberian Plain
An endless expanse of pristine boreal forest and marshlands stretching to the horizon.
Novosibirsk Skyline
The urban sprawl of Russia's third-largest city becomes visible during the descent into OVB.
Choose the left side for morning or afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. The highlight is the crossing of the Urals, which occurs roughly mid-flight; keep your camera ready for the sudden change from the European plains to rugged mountain terrain. Seasonal snow cover in Siberia is most impressive from November to March.
