Hot air balloon over Vilnius or Trakai, Lithuania

Vilnius is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and one of the few capitals over which you can still enjoy a balloon flight. Recently flights over Vilnius have been restricted due to the intensive traffic at the Vilnius Airport. Flights over Vilnius are possible if the wind direction is from the East, Southeast or Southwest and if the visibility is more than 5 km. As for flights in Trakai – they leave an indelible impression to all who has seen Trakai Castle from above at least once, passing it slowly and proudly or who has „soaked“ their feet in the Lake Galvė. Trakai is a very favorable place for hot air balloon flights, because here you can fly in any wind direction. Ballonns usually rise from the „Senoji Kibininė“ over the Lake Galvė or by the Trakai bypass and try to fly over Trakai Castle.
