Sightseeing in airy heights, there are many opportunities to experience a city. Stockholm is one of the few cities that allows hot air balloon rides. Alone, the whim of the wind it decides the route. The travel portal reisen.de introduces the possibility to look at Sweden’s capital city from above. Whoever wants to can see even his hotel in Sweden from a bird’s-eye view in Stockholm at least it is possible. The “far & Flyg”, to german “fahren und Fliegen” makes it possible. Since its inception in 1981, Sweden’s oldest balloon ride company has performed several thousand rides for tourists. To discover the city from above, is indescribable.

And many visitors take advantage of the opportunity. A horizon dotted with colorful balloons belongs in Stockholm to the order of the day. A particularly well suitable starting point for a memorable glide over the sights of Stockholm is, for example, the Kaknastorn. The tower is the tallest structure in the city with 155 meters. Other highlights include the Tower of Stadshuset on the shore of Lake Malaren as well as the Gamla Stan, the old town with the Castle and the Riddarholmkirche. Advertisers like to call Stockholm the Venice of the North. Like Venice, also Stockholm is a city of water.

From 400 to 500 meters height, the balloonists to see the sea with thousands of Islands. Many small lakes, ponds and rivers are spread under the balloon. The Malaren is far to the West, the great Lake, on whose shores are parts of the city. Stockholm offers but also lots of greenery: huge parking areas are spread across the entire city, including Ekoparken, the only urban National Park in the world. Interested parties should bring however much time and patience. Hot air balloon rides are strongly dependent on weather and wind. Four to five hours should be scheduled for the entire experience. And sometimes scheduled flights cannot be made at all because the wind would have it. More information: magazine /… Reisen.de service GmbH Lisa Neumann
