This romantic date will see couples take to the sky in a hot air balloon, to experience the stunning skyline of Riga at sunset. A truly unique and unforgettable experience for those seeking to make something unbelievable!
- Imagine the thrill of floating above the city as the sun sets, hand in hand with your loved one. The hot air balloon gradually lifts off, and Riga's majestic skyline reveals itself. Buildings shimmer in the golden light, and the river Daugava brightly winks at you. For one magical moment, it feels as if time stands still, everything is silent, save for the occasional burst of flame from the balloon's burners.
- As you glide through the sky, you'll gaze out at the stunning architecture, iconic monuments, and winding Daugava river. As the sky darkens, the city lights begin to twinkle, painting a romantic and unforgettable image you will cherish forever.
- Finally, upon landing, you're treated to a traditional champagne toast and equipped with a flight certificate - a memorable keepsake of your incredible adventure over Riga.
Preparation steps:
- Book your hot air balloon ride in advance, making sure the weather conditions on your chosen day are ideal for a smooth and safe flight. Dress in layers, as it may be cool before you ascend but warmer in the air. Comfortable shoes are also necessary as you may be on your feet for the duration of the ride.
- Don't forget your camera! Photos taken from a hot air balloon are truly one-of-a-kind, and you wouldn't want to miss capturing such a magical experience.
- Lastly, the time before the flight is a good moment to discuss with the pilot your route and the sights you will see. The staff is usually very knowledgeable about the city and can offer some hidden gems to look at from the bird's-eye view.
Some tips:
- The balloon ride itself can last around an hour, but allow for several hours for the total experience - this includes safety briefings, balloon inflation, the post-flight tradition, and returns to your departure point.
- While hot air ballooning is generally a safe activity, it's still recommended to take note of the safety instructions provided by your pilot, and don't hesitate to ask any questions or voice any concerns you might have.
- Remember, this experience is all about savoring the moment - there's nothing quite like floating above a beautiful city like Riga with a loved one. Make sure to take it all in, together.
