FCO

When landing at Fiumicino (FCO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on 16R brings you in from the north on a southbound track that runs right along the coast, so the Tyrrhenian Sea and Fiumicino's shoreline stay on the right side of the aircraft through most of the descent. The left side mostly shows flat Lazio farmland with the Tiber delta, which is far less visually interesting. Notable sights include: Tyrrhenian Sea coastline, mouth of the Tiber River at Fiumicino, Fiumicino fishing harbor, Ostia Lido beach front to the south.
