Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the South Bohemian pond regions and the iconic Vienna Woods, with the distant peaks of the Austrian Alps visible on clear days.
Prague Castle
The world's largest ancient castle complex is often visible shortly after departure from Václav Havel Airport.
Třeboň Lake District
View the unique medieval UNESCO-listed network of fishponds and artificial lakes in South Bohemia.
Northern Limestone Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peak of Schneeberg marks the beginning of the Alpine range to the southwest.
Vienna Woods
Fly over the massive green lung surrounding Vienna, known as the Wienerwald, during the descent.
Vienna City Center
Depending on the runway, catch glimpses of St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Donauturm during the final minutes of flight.
The right side is perfect for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff to capture the geometric patterns of the Třeboň fishponds.
Prague Eastern Districts
Aerial views of the Vltava river and the residential architecture of eastern Prague during the initial climb.
Kutná Hora
Spot the historic silver-mining town and the spires of St. Barbara's Cathedral shortly after takeoff.
Vysočina Highlands
A mosaic of rolling hills, agricultural fields, and small Czech villages in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.
Danube River Loop
The winding path of the Danube becomes prominent as you cross the border into Lower Austria.
Opt for the left side on early morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. This side provides a great view of the industrial and river landscapes during the final approach into Schwechat.
