Which side of the plane to sit from Zagreb Airport (Zagreb) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Alpine ranges in Slovenia and Austria, providing high-contrast mountain scenery before transitioning to the scenic forests of central Germany.
Julian Alps
Just after takeoff from Zagreb, enjoy clear views of the Triglav peak and the rugged limestone mountains of Slovenia.
Hohe Tauern Range
A stunning panorama of Austria's highest peaks, often capped with snow even in late spring.
Danube River
The flight crosses the blue ribbon of the Danube near the Austrian-German border region.
Nuremberg Cityscape
Visible as the flight proceeds north, showing the distinct layout of the historic Bavarian city.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, rolling green canopies of one of Germany's most famous forested highlands.
Book an early morning flight for the most dramatic lighting over the Alps. The sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountain faces perfectly for photography. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the glaciers.
Pannonian Basin
The flat, fertile plains extending toward Hungary offer a geometric patchwork of agricultural fields.
Vienna Environs
Depending on the air traffic corridor, the outskirts of the Austrian capital and the Vienna Woods are visible.
Prague
Mid-flight, look for the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River snaking through the Czech capital.
Elbe River Valley
Scenic views of the Elbe as it winds through the sandstone mountains of Saxon Switzerland.
Spreewald Biosphere
Just before the descent into Berlin, the unique network of canals and wetlands south of the city becomes visible.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It offers better urban views of Central European capitals like Prague. On the final approach to Berlin, this side often sees the lakes of the Brandenburg region.
