Full description
Soar above Florence on a hot air balloon flight, crossing part of the Chianti countryside and nearby landmarks, with transport included from the meeting point to the launch site.
The meeting point for this hot air balloon flight is Porta San Niccolò, in Florence. From there, a vehicle provided by the supplier takes passengers to the launch field, whose exact location is determined based on the day's wind conditions.
The flight soars over the city of Florence following the wind currents, offering a completely different perspective on its architecture. The route also crosses part of the Chianti countryside and some landmarks around the city. The landing takes place in another area near Florence, where the supplier's team meets the passengers to return to the launch field.
At the end, a drink and a croissant are served together with the pilot, closing out the experience.
Since this flight depends on wind and weather conditions, each route is different, and the activity only takes place when conditions are favorable for flying over the city.
