Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Duesseldorf to Lisbon. While takeoff on the right offers Rhine Valley views, the landing approach on the left provides superior scenery with the Tagus estuary, Lisbon's dramatic hillside cityscape, and Atlantic coastline. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Dusseldorf (DUS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers views of the Rhine River valley and the industrial Ruhr region as you climb westward. The left side faces inland toward flat agricultural plains with minimal visual interest. Notable sights include: Rhine River (meandering south of Düsseldorf), Ruhr Valley industrial corridor, North German Plain extending eastward.

When landing at Lisboa (LIS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of the Tagus River estuary, Lisbon's distinctive hillside layout, and the Atlantic coastline as you descend toward Humberto Delgado Airport. The right side faces inland toward less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: Tagus River estuary and delta, Lisbon's central hills and urban sprawl, Atlantic coastline and Sintra mountains (distant, north).

The flight from Dusseldorf (DUS) to Lisboa (LIS) takes 2h 15m.
