Search flights from TRS to FCO
Venetian Lagoon
The highlight of the route; a perfect view of Venice's historic center, the Lido, and the surrounding islands.
Po River Delta
An intricate network of wetlands, lagoons, and river branches where Italy's longest river meets the sea.
Romagna Riviera
Bird's-eye views of the famous beach resorts of Rimini and Riccione stretching along the Adriatic.
Lake Bracciano
A large, circular volcanic lake that serves as a primary landmark during the descent into Fiumicino.
Tyrrhenian Coast
Final views of the Mediterranean coastline and the port of Civitavecchia before touchdown.
The right side is mandatory for seeing Venice; be ready with your camera about 10 to 15 minutes after takeoff. For late afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Tyrrhenian Sea as you descend into Rome. Ask for a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the lagoon view.

Gulf of Trieste
Sweeping views of the northernmost tip of the Adriatic Sea and the Miramare Castle area.
Istrian Peninsula
On clear days, the rugged coastline of nearby Slovenia and Croatia is visible across the water.
Central Apennines
The high peaks of the Abruzzo region, including the Gran Sasso massif, dominate the mid-flight horizon.
Lazio Hinterland
Rolling landscapes and ancient volcanic hills as the plane transitions from the mountains to the plains.
Rome Outskirts
The eastern residential districts and historic aqueducts are often visible during the final circuit.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun at your back. It offers the best views of the rugged Apennine spine of Italy, which is particularly striking in winter when the peaks are snow-capped. During the final approach from the east, you may see the ancient Roman countryside.
