Traveling in a hot air balloon is a thrilling and unforgettable experience, even more so when combined with a trip to a spectacular city such as Prague. The available balloons come in a variety of colors and sizes. Baskets accommodate from two to six people, making this an ideal excursion for a romantic couple but also a fun-packed group activity. Balloon flights are operated by a professional ballooning company and staffed by competent pilots with up to 20 years’ experience in ballooning throughout the Czech Republic and Europe.
Do not forget to bring your camera! Traveling in a hot air balloon offers many photo opportunities. Take snapshots of the romantic and idyllic landscape. Enjoy incredible views of the countryside surrounding Prague, including either medieval Karlštejn Castle or charming Konopiště Chateau. Experience the beauty of flying in the open air without the sound of engines.
After the flight your pilot will offer you complimentary refreshments and hold a traditional ceremony welcoming you to the ballooning experience. You will even receive an official certificate.
Balloon flights are operated all year, but, as safety is paramount, they can only take place in suitable weather conditions. To best reserve a flight, enter a range of possible dates on the booking form. Bookings are then subject to a final confirmation 24 hours prior to the designated flight time. Payment will only be processed after the flight has taken place. If you do not fly, there is no charge. Passenger insurance is included in the price of the trip. Children from 12 to 15 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
The departure point is outside Prague, and the flight time is around one hour. You can either book the 3-hour balloon flight only option or the 5-hour balloon flight plus Konopiste Chateau option.
The temperature in the hot air balloon is roughly the same as that on the ground, so no extra clothing is required. Casual clothes and sturdy shoes are recommended.
