Hot Air Balloon Ride over Segovia from Madrid

You see the Alcázar and Cathedral from the air, not from the ground.

A 40–60 minute hot air balloon flight over Segovia takes you above the Alcázar and Cathedral, with views across the surrounding landscape. After landing, you receive a glass of Spanish Cava, brunch and a flight certificate. Pickup and drop-off in Segovia is included; Madrid pickup is available for an additional charge per person. Children aged 6–17 must be accompanied by an adult; children under 6 cannot participate. Baskets hold up to 35 passengers.

The Experience

The balloon lifts off from Segovia, and within minutes the Alcázar—the fortress that dominates the city's skyline—shrinks below you. The Cathedral comes into view, then the Roman aqueduct with its 166 arches. This is not a sightseeing tour where you stand and look; you are suspended in the basket, watching the city and its monuments recede as the landscape opens up around you. The flight runs 40 to 60 minutes depending on wind and conditions.

Once you land, the day shifts. A glass of Spanish Cava waits, along with brunch. You receive a flight certificate—a tangible record of the morning. If you arranged Madrid pickup, the driver meets you after landing and the return journey begins; if you drove to Segovia yourself, you're ready to explore the city on foot or head elsewhere. The whole experience, from meeting point to departure, takes roughly three to four hours.

Guides speak English and Spanish, so the commentary reaches you in your language. Groups stay under 35 per basket, which means the basket does not feel crowded even when full. Children aged 6 to 17 can fly, but they must be with an adult in the basket; younger children cannot join.
