Seeing Toledo, embraced by the Tagus River, and the imposing Alcazar
from a balloon is an unforgettable experience. Of course, walking its streets on foot is irreplaceable, but only from the air can you have
a complete view of the medieval layout of Toledo and the strategic relevance of its location in the times of Al Andalus and throughout its history. Another
experience also aerial and impressive: crossing the Tagus on the longest urban zip line in Europe.

When: Balloon flights in Toledo are usually scheduled on weekends, always depending on the weather conditions, although it is also possible to rent a private flight. They take place at dawn. The duration of the flight is one hour, although the experience begins earlier, assisting in the preparation of the balloon, and ends later, with a country breakfast. In total the experience lasts three hours.
Keep in mind: The flight of the balloons depends on the direction of the winds, that is, they cannot be directed. This means that each flight route is different. The prevailing winds in Toledo usually push the balloon on a route parallel to the river. It is not frequent to fly over the city, this happens in approximately 10% of flights. In any case, the experience is unforgettable.
