The Dolomites
Breathtaking jagged limestone peaks and alpine valleys as you cross Northern Italy.
Lake Garda
The unmistakable deep blue shape of Italy's largest lake nestled against the mountains.
Tuscan Landscape
Iconic patchwork fields, vineyards, and cypress trees of the Val d'Orcia region.
Historic Rome
On the final approach, look for the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Tiber River snaking through the city.
Mount Amiata
A prominent lava dome volcano visible in southern Tuscany before the final descent.
Sit here for the best chance to see the iconic landmarks of Rome. Ciampino's approach usually loops from the north, placing the city center directly in your window. Use a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps.

Adriatic Coastline
Glimpses of the Venetian Lagoon and the turquoise waters of the upper Adriatic Sea.
