4 places to take a balloon flight. Get ready for amazing views!
Want to spice up your city break or longer vacation? Plan a balloon flight. These places are famous for being best viewed from above.
Why is a balloon flight a good idea for a city tour? A balloon flight is an attraction in itself. The adventure begins even before the launch. Setting up the balloon and preparing for the flight can take up to half an hour. Depending on the location and organizers, participants may also take an active part in the procedure. One of the most responsible tasks is holding the impermeable fabric, which fills with heated air — at least until it swells and the basket is set up.
Despite the hot air in the basket, or rather the fire, it’s a good idea to remember to bring a warmer sweatshirt before the balloon flight. We are going up in the air, and as we all know, the higher we go, the colder it gets. The views during the flight are asking to be captured in photos. For a good frame, there is no need to risk losing your phone or camera. It’s best not to put your hands beyond the rim of the basket. Using a wide angle on your camera can help.
