If Prague is already a wonderful city and considered by many, including me, one of the most beautiful in the world seen from its streets and squares, imagine what it is like to see it on a balloon from the air!
But not just any balloon, but a captive hot air balloon! What makes it special is that you are not inside any basket or compartment, you are hanging by a harness! And if you want to make it more fun you can even go up accompanied! Of course, when there is enough wind the activity gives a lot of impression since being in a place with ground that you can touch is not the same as being tied to a balloon flying over the city next to the river...
To get to the place where the balloon departs, you have to take a walk through the city until you reach Kampa Island, in the Czech city of Prague. There a balloon will take you up to 80 meters high for 15 minutes, a place in space with a wonderful view of Prague.
The balloon can carry two people and a child. It is the only attraction of its kind in the Czech Republic and in the Bohemian region, being a great unique experience that you will never forget.
At first glance it may seem a little unstable and not very safe, but once up you forget everything when contemplating those wonderful views of Prague and especially the wonderful Charles Bridge.
If I remember correctly, the price was around €20, quite cheap for what an activity of this type usually costs in another country, it is also a unique experience and a different way to admire the beautiful Czech city .
The duration of the flight depends on whether there are more people waiting to board, if you are lucky enough to be alone you can be left up there for 1 hour, or even like me, the hour passed and I They left more until I talked to them.
They speak perfect English so there will be no problem understanding you. The way of speaking is carried out through a communicator that you have tied to one of the balloon's strings. With it you can communicate with the owner and convey any questions you have or if you want to get off earlier.
The company is called "Balon centrum Praha" and you will see the balloon in the distance from the famous "Bridge of Carlos", if you don't dare to fly in a balloon, but want to try a similar experience with a little excitement, don't hesitate to get on this "aerial viewpoint" of the city of Prague!
