Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the historic Strasbourg skyline, including the iconic cathedral spire, and the dramatic ridges of the Vosges Mountains during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🍺

Pilsen (Plzeň)

The birthplace of Pilsner beer, identifiable by its large brewery complexes and central cathedral.

🚗

Stuttgart Basin

The industrial heart of Baden-Württemberg tucked into a scenic valley.

⛪

Strasbourg Cathedral

The massive, single-towered sandstone cathedral stands out prominently from the surrounding timber-framed houses.

⛰️

Vosges Mountains

The rugged granite peaks of eastern France forming a scenic backdrop to the west of the airport.

🇪🇺

European Parliament

The modern glass architecture of the European district located near the Ill River.

The right side is essential for the Strasbourg approach. If landing from the north, you will get a perfect view of the Grande Île (UNESCO World Heritage site). During sunset flights, the Vosges Mountains create a stunning silhouette. Look for the industrial architecture of Stuttgart roughly mid-flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Prague City Center

Aerial view of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and the historic Old Town during initial climb.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

Dense evergreen expanses of the Bayerischer Wald along the Czech-German border.

🥨

Nuremberg

The sprawling Bavarian city and its medieval fortifications visible to the south.

⛰️

Northern Black Forest

Rolling dark green peaks of the Schwarzwald as the flight nears the French border.

🌊

Rhine River Bend

The shimmering silver ribbon of the Rhine marking the transition from Germany into France.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the dense greenery of the Black Forest and the high-altitude views of Nuremberg. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff for the best views of Prague's red-roofed districts.
