Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amsterdam to Firenze. Right side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise over the Alps, the right side also faces south toward the main Alpine chain as the route crosses Switzerland, giving views of the Bernese Alps and eventually the Po Plain opening up into northern Italy.

During takeoff from Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Schiphol typically departs southbound on runway 18R or 18C, meaning the right side faces west over the North Sea coast and the distinctive Dutch polder landscape. You get clear views of the flat reclaimed land, the Haarlemmermeer basin, and the coastal dune strip separating the polders from the sea. Notable sights include: Haarlemmermeer polder grid, North Sea coastline dune strip, Haarlem city outline to the northwest, Amsterdam canal ring visible to the northeast.

When landing at Peretola (FLR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Florence Peretola sits just northwest of the city, and aircraft typically approach from the northwest on runway 05, meaning the right side looks south toward Florence itself and the Arno valley. You get a direct view over the terracotta rooftops of central Florence, the Duomo dome, and the Arno river cutting through the city before touchdown. Notable sights include: Florence city center with the Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore, Arno river valley, Fiesole hills to the northeast, Chianti hills rolling south.

The flight from Schiphol (AMS) to Peretola (FLR) takes Approximately 2 hours.

The route crosses Belgium and Luxembourg, then enters Swiss airspace over the Jura hills. The central highlight is the crossing of the Swiss Alps, where the Bernese Oberland and Valais peaks including the Eiger, Jungfrau massif, and Monte Rosa group are visible depending on exact routing. South of the Alps the broad flat Po Plain stretches across northern Italy before the Apennine foothills signal the approach to Tuscany.
