Fiumicino Spotting Point (16R/34L)

A spotting pull-in on Via delle Idrovore di Fiumicino covering Runway 16R/34L, with aircraft descending close overhead. A well-liked sunset location - the light across the runway in the evening is the draw. Small: it holds around 10-12 cars at most, and there is litter around the site.
