Romantic Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Moscow
Experience Moscow like never before on a private hot air balloon ride. As you peacefully float high above the city, you'll be able to take in breathtaking views of its most iconic landmarks, including the Moscow Kremlin, Red Square, and the Bolshoi Theatre. The balloon ride will last for approximat…
- You'll start your date by being picked up from your hotel early in the morning, driving to the launch site just outside the city. Once there, you can either assist with the inflation of the balloon or stand back and take pictures as the giant balloon springs to shape.
- As you slowly rise, the city of Moscow will reveal itself in all its grandeur and beauty. You'll glide serenely through the sky while enjoying a birds-eye view of the city’s landmarks. The balloon ride will last for approximately an hour, dependent on weather conditions. During the ride, you'll even have the opportunity for an in-flight photo to capture this memorable experience.
- Once you descend, you'll partake in the air balloonists' traditional ‘champagne toast’ and receive a flight certificate to commemorate your journey. The ground crew will then drive you back to your hotel where you'll have the rest of the day to relax and reminisce about your sky-high adventure.
Preparation steps:
- As this is an outdoor activity, it's crucial to check the weather forecast beforehand. Wear comfortable clothes suitable for the prevailing weather conditions. It may be a bit colder up in the sky, so dress in layers. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat could be useful too as the sun can be quite strong when you're up in the air.
- High-heeled shoes are not suitable for this activity. Also, a pair of gloves may be helpful as ropes, lines and the balloon fabric can be rough.
- Don't forget to bring a fully-charged camera or smartphone to capture the beautiful scenery from the air. A bottle of water could also be handy.

Some tips:
- Booking in advance is mandatory for this activity. It's important to note that hot air balloon rides are subject to weather conditions and can be cancelled if the weather is not ideal. Hence, it's better to plan this date in the earlier part of your stay if you're visiting Moscow, so that you have flexibility to reschedule if needed.
- Remember to use the restroom before your flight as facilities are unavailable once in the air. The flight might not be suitable for those who have fear of heights. So, ensure that your partner is comfortable with the idea.
- After the trip, you can consider exploring the city's famous landmarks that you spotted from your balloon on foot or go for a romantic dinner in one of Moscow's first-class restaurants to complete the day.
