TGD โ BEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Podgorica Airport (Podgorica) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high-altitude peaks of Durmitor National Park and the iconic emerald meanders of the Uvac River.
Durmitor National Park
A UNESCO site featuring Bobotov Kuk, the highest peak in the Dinaric Alps, and deep limestone gorges.
Piva Canyon
The deep blue waters of the Piva Reservoir tucked between near-vertical canyon walls.
Uvac River Meanders
The world-famous sharp hairpin turns of the Uvac River canyon, often visible mid-flight.
Zlatibor Mountains
Rolling hills and pine forests of the Zlatibor plateau as the terrain begins to flatten.
Sava River Confluence
If landing from the west, you will see where the Sava meets the Danube near the Kalemegdan Fortress.
The right side is essential for seeing the most dramatic mountain scenery of Montenegro. The Uvac meanders are usually located about 15-20 minutes into the flight; look down as the plane crosses into Serbia. Use a window seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the mountains and the Pannonian plain.
Lake Skadar
View the largest lake in Southern Europe immediately after takeoff if the plane loops south before heading north.
Prokletije Mountains
The 'Accursed Mountains' on the Albanian border offer jagged, alpine scenery to the east.
Belgrade-Bar Railway
Spot the engineering marvel of the railway line snaking through the Moraฤa Canyon deep below.
Drina River Valley
The winding turquoise waters of the Drina River marking the natural border between Serbia and Bosnia.
New Belgrade
During the final approach into BEG, see the brutalist architecture and the Ada Bridge's single pylon.
Sit in the front or rear of the left side to avoid the wing. In the morning, you will have the sun behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Prokletije range. Watch for the Moraฤa River canyon shortly after takeoff from Podgorica.
