WROMUC

Which side of the plane to sit from Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the Sudetes mountains shortly after takeoff and a stunning distant view of the Northern Alps during the descent into Munich.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Wrocław Old Town

Aerial view of the historic Market Square and Cathedral Island right after departing WRO.

🏔️

Śnieżka Peak

The highest point of the Karkonosze range, often snow-capped until late spring.

🌲

Šumava National Park

Vast stretches of the Bohemian Forest along the Czech-German border.

🏔️

Alpine Chain

On clear days, the entire northern ridge of the Alps is visible on the horizon during descent.

🏠

Munich Suburbs

Charming Bavarian villages and structured farmlands as the plane aligns for landing.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views. In winter, the Sudetes and the Alps are particularly striking when covered in snow. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Oder River Valley

The winding path of the Oder river as it heads northwest from Wrocław.

🏘️

Regensburg

The UNESCO-listed medieval city and the Danube river are often visible mid-flight.

🏟️

Allianz Arena

The glowing 'inflatable' stadium of FC Bayern Munich is a key landmark on the northern approach.

💧

Isar River

Watch the turquoise Isar river snake through the Bavarian countryside toward the city.

✈️

MUC Airport Perimeter

Excellent views of the airport's modern terminal architecture if landing from the east.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Allianz Arena, which glows red at night. If landing to the west, you may get a distant view of the Munich city skyline including the Olympiapark. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat blur.
