BUD

When landing at Ferihegy (BUD), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 31L, the approach comes in from the southeast, tracking northwest toward the field. Budapest's city center sits off to the northwest of the airport, so it falls on the left side of the aircraft during the final few minutes of descent, giving a nice oblique view of the Danube and the Buda hills in the distance. Notable sights include: Danube River bends, Castle Hill/Buda Castle silhouette, Gellért Hill, distant Parliament building along the riverbank.
