Full description

Experience Italy's first hot-air balloon with a glass floor in the heart of Florence. Designed with a transparent floor, completely made of glass, this unique hot-air balloon will allow you to enjoy the experience of flying in an even more surprising way.

Let the wind carry you aboard the wicker basket and admire the breathtaking panorama of the Tuscan capital from the invisible floor beneath your feet.

You will fly for about 1 hour in total safety and tranquillity, accompanied by experienced pilots, before enjoying a refreshment of pastries, typical products and a glass of champagne.

What we will do

We will be at the take-off site in the heart of Florence, at first light. Here we will be welcomed by the crew, who will direct us to our unique glass-bottomed hot-air balloon.

We will then board the balloon via special passages on the side of the basket and, after a briefing on safety regulations, we will finally be ready to take off. The pilot will briefly explain the behaviour to be adopted during the various phases of the flight.

We will reach an altitude of between 300 and 1200 metres, depending on the wind of the day. During the flight, we will be able to admire the magnificent city of Florence and the Tuscan countryside from above, enjoying the view from the invisible floor beneath our feet.

After about 1 hour of flight, it will be time to land. Wind conditions will determine the landing zone, generally on grassland, near Florence. Afterwards, we will find refreshments (included in the fee) prepared by the crew, including pastries, a plate of local cheeses and cold cuts, and a glass of champagne.

After the refreshments, the crew will take us back to the take-off site. The activity has a total duration of about 3 hours and includes the flight, safety briefing and return to the starting point.
