描述

Enjoy a hot air balloon flight over Vilnius or Trakai and see the city from above. Benefit from a convenient transfer to and from your hotel in Vilnius.
Enjoy a hot air balloon flight over Vilnius or Trakai and leave with indelible impressions. Take off from Vilnius or Trakai and soar over the city or the castle, depending on the wind direction.

Balloons are the oldest and most romantic air vehicle. Invented in 1783, balloons are still widely used today. Due to their aristocratic nature, hot air balloons are considered a privilege of the rich, and hot air ballooning is considered to be an aristocratic occupation.

Vilnius is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and one of the few capitals over which you can still enjoy a balloon flight. Recently flights over Vilnius have been restricted due to the intensive traffic at the Vilnius Airport. Flights over Vilnius are possible if the wind direction is from the East, Southeast, or Southwest and if the visibility is more than 5 km. In any case, permission from the Air Traffic Control is required before take-off. Sometimes it happens that the Air Traffic Control doesn‘t grant permission to fly balloons and the flight has to be canceled at the last minute.

As for flights in Trakai – they leave an indelible impression to all who has seen Trakai Castle from above at least once, passing it slowly and proudly or who has „soaked“ their feet in the Lake Galvė.

Trakai is a very favorable place for hot air balloon flights because here you can fly in any wind direction. Balloons usually rise from the „Senoji Kibininė“ over the Lake Galvė or by the Trakai bypass and try to fly over Trakai Castle.

重要信息
Hot air balloons in Lithuania usually fly in April – October. In summer balloons fly in the mornings (5AM-9AM) and evenings (6PM-9PM). In autumn - spring morning flights start a bit later (8AM), evening flights - earlier (4PM).
Hot air balloon flights completely depend on meteorological situation: cloudiness, rainfall, visibility, wind speed etc. Usually meteo forecast is available 3 days before a flight, but sometimes the forecast is inaccurate or incomplete. Therefore, for safety reasons the flight may be cancelled even in the balloon’s launching place.
The average duration of the hot air balloon flight is 1 hour, but the whole process (preparation for the flight, instruction, flight, packing the balloon after flight, certificate giving ceremony and getting back) lasts for 3-4 hours.
Usually 6-16 persons fly in one hot air balloon. If you would like to fly without other people you should discuss this with the organisers of the flight in advance.
The exact meeting time and place will be confirmed by SMS to your mobile phone or e-mail with adress, pilot name, picking car number.
