TIV β†’ BEG

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Bay of Kotor immediately after takeoff, followed by views of the deep Tara River Canyon and the best perspective of the Belgrade city skyline and the Sava-Danube confluence upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
πŸ›₯️

Bay of Kotor

One of Europe's most beautiful bays, featuring the ancient walled city of Kotor and the Perast islands.

⛰️

Mount Lovćen

The rocky 'Black Mountain' that gives Montenegro its name, visible as a massive wall rising from the coast.

🏞️

Tara River Canyon

Views looking down into one of the deepest river canyons in the world as the flight crosses towards Serbia.

πŸ™οΈ

Belgrade Cityscape

A wide view of the Serbian capital, including the Eastern City Gate and the dense urban sprawl.

πŸŒ‰

Sava and Danube Confluence

The historic meeting point of two major European rivers at the foot of the Kalemegdan Fortress.

The takeoff from Tivat is the highlight; have your camera ready immediately. Sit on the right to see the 'fjords' of the Adriatic. On the approach to Belgrade, the right side usually provides a much clearer view of the city center and the iconic Victor monument at Kalemegdan. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Adriatic Coastline

Glances of the turquoise waters and the Lustica Peninsula as the plane climbs out of the Tivat valley.

πŸ”οΈ

Durmitor National Park

The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of northern Montenegro, including the towering Bobotov Kuk.

πŸ’§

Piva Lake

A striking high-altitude artificial reservoir known for its intense emerald-green water color.

🌲

Tara National Park

The dense evergreen forests of Western Serbia and the winding path of the Drina River border.

Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It provides an excellent view of the high mountain massifs of northern Montenegro, which remain snow-capped well into late spring. Watch for the sharp transition from the Dinaric Alps to the flatter Serbian plains near the end of the flight.
