Moscow City Skyscrapers
The impressive glass-and-steel towers of the Moscow International Business Center visible during the climb out.
Warsaw Skyline
A clear view of the Polish capital's growing collection of modern skyscrapers and the Palace of Culture and Science.
Poznań Old Town
The colorful market square and historic center of one of Poland's oldest cities along the Warta River.
Berlin TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm at Alexanderplatz stands out prominently during the approach to Tegel.
Government District
Unmatched views of the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, and Tiergarten park just minutes before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the classic 'Berlin City' approach. If the wind is from the west, you will fly directly over the city center. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets over the German plains, illuminating the Berlin skyline in gold. Keep your camera ready 15 minutes before landing for the best urban photography.
