CIA

When landing at Ciampino (CIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 15 means the approach comes in from the northwest, tracking just west of Rome's historic center before turning onto final. That puts the Colosseum, the Tiber's bends, and St. Peter's dome on the right side of the aircraft as it descends, while the left side mostly shows suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica dome, Tiber River, Alban Hills (Castelli Romani) in the distance.
