Šar Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks rising along the border between North Macedonia and Kosovo shortly after takeoff.
Kopaonik Massif
Serbia's largest mountain range and premier ski resort, visible with its distinctive high plateaus.
Avala Tower
The iconic telecommunications tower standing on Avala mountain, signaling the approach to Belgrade.
New Belgrade
The modern, grid-planned blocks and high-rises of the city's western expansion during the final descent.
Sava River Confluence
The scenic meeting point where the Sava river flows into the mighty Danube near the city center.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sun illuminating the mountain peaks to the west. Watch for the sharp transition from the rugged Macedonian terrain to the rolling hills of central Serbia. During the landing pattern at BEG, this side often gets a sweeping view of the Kalemegdan Fortress if the approach is from the south.

A clear view of the third-largest city in Serbia, situated at a major historical crossroad of the Balkans.
Great Morava River
The serpentine path of the Great Morava river as it carves through the fertile Pomoravlje valley.
Sićevo Gorge
A stunning limestone river canyon located just east of Niš, visible depending on the exact flight corridor.
Smederevo Fortress
One of the largest medieval lowland fortresses in Europe, located on the right bank of the Danube.
The Blue Danube
Expansive views of the Danube river as it widens and flows toward the Iron Gates further east.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the agricultural heartland of Serbia. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Niš about halfway through the flight, and look for the massive industrial complexes near Smederevo as you near Belgrade.
