Guidekin summary

An early morning hot air balloon flight over Catalonia, under an hour from the city, climbing high above the plain with a pink cava toast after landing. Barcelona pickup and the post-flight brunch depend on the option booked; budget €190 per person before add-ons.

From the guide

Leave the hustle and bustle of Barcelona behind and join this early-morning hot-air balloon flight at only 30-45 minutes away from the city. A hot-air balloon ride is the best way to capture outstanding views of Catalonia from heights of up to 3,000 feet (900 meters). Prepare for an exhilarating flight as you take off and begin to enjoy the sense of freedom and tranquility of floating through the air, you'll be airborne between 1 and 1.5 hours before landing for a sumptuous Champagne brunch.

Our ballooning flights include an optional pick-up in Barcelona city centre and roundtrip transfer to the flying area. Want a longer or more intimate experience? Select a 2-hour flight to spend longer in the air or upgrade to a private flight plus the pilot.
