Florence and the Arno

Clear views of the Renaissance capital and the winding Arno River winding through the Tuscan hills.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

The long sandy stretches of the Italian Riviera near Rimini and the port city of Ancona.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Spectacular views of hundreds of Croatian islands including Hvar, Brač, and Korčula set against turquoise water.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The wild, karst landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia featuring deep canyons and white rock faces.

🌊

Danube Iron Gates

The majestic gorge where the Danube River forms the border between Serbia and Romania.

🏙️

Bucharest Skyline

A sweeping view of the Romanian capital, including the massive Palace of the Parliament, just before landing.

The Dalmatian Coast is the absolute highlight, typically visible about 40 minutes after departure; sit here for the best maritime views. For evening flights, you may catch a beautiful sunset reflecting off the Adriatic. Watch for the Iron Gates of the Danube approximately 20 minutes before touchdown.

⛰️

Northern Apennines

Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Italian mountain spine shortly after takeoff.

🏘️

Po Valley Horizon

Panoramic views of the fertile Italian plains with the cities of Bologna and Ferrara in the distance.

📍

Istrian Peninsula

The heart-shaped peninsula of Croatia visible across the northern Adriatic waters.

🏔️

Southern Carpathians

Wallachian Plain

The vast agricultural expanse of southern Romania as the aircraft lines up for approach into Otopeni.

Choose the left side for the most dramatic views of the Carpathian Mountains during the final 30 minutes of the flight. For afternoon flights, this side is also preferable to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be positioned to the south.
