Join an incredible hot air balloon flight over the Swedish capital Stockholm, followed by a picnic. Welcoming adventurers from ages 12 and up!
Stockholm is the capital and largest city of Sweden, situated on the eastern coast of the country.

Soar high above Stockholm and witness the city from a new perspective! You’ll pass some of the well-known historical buildings in Stockholm, including the City Hall, famous for its Nobel-prize ceremony, and the Royal Palace, home to Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf. You’ll also have some excellent views of Stockholm’s natural beauty, including its vast archipelago, islands and forests.
After a 1-hour exceptional flight, you’ll land just as the sun begins to set on the horizon. Together with the team you will pack the balloon away and you’ll have a small balloon ceremony, where you will receive a flight diploma to keep as a souvenir of your trip. A delicious picnic of cheese and crackers will be served as you toast sparkling wine or a non-alcoholic option. After your meal, you’ll be transferred back to the starting point in Solna.
