SPUBEG

Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior aerial perspective of the Dalmatian islands upon takeoff and a front-row seat to the dramatic Sava and Danube river confluence as you arrive in Belgrade.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Aerial views of Brač and Hvar islands shimmering in the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Biokovo Nature Park

The massive white limestone wall of Biokovo Mountain towering over the Makarska Riviera.

🌊

Neretva River Canyon

The striking emerald green waters of the Neretva as it winds through deep mountain gorges.

🏰

Sava-Danube Confluence

A perfect view of where the Sava meets the Danube, featuring the Kalemegdan Fortress on the hill.

This is the prime side for photography. For the best island views, look out within the first 10 minutes of flight. As you approach Belgrade, stay alert for the Sava River; if the pilot circles for landing from the south, you will get an iconic view of the city's historic center.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Mosor Mountain Range

The stark limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps rising immediately behind the Split coastline.

🔲

Kupres Plateau

High-altitude karst fields in Bosnia known for their unique geomorphology and circular sinkholes.

🌲

Central Bosnian Massifs

Dense forest coverage and the rugged peaks of Mount Vlašić near the city of Travnik.

🏢

New Belgrade Skyline

A clear view of the Brutalist architecture and Genex Tower when approaching from the west.

Sit on this side for the best views of the barren, moon-like karst landscapes of the Dinaric interior. Afternoon flights are preferable to avoid the southern sun glare, and winter travelers will enjoy the heavy snow coverage on the Bosnian peaks.
