About this tour
Rise above Segovia in a hot air balloon and drift over one of Spain's most storied landscapes. This four-hour experience takes you 1000 metres up to survey the Roman Aqueduct's arches, the soaring Gothic Cathedral, and the fortress towers of Alcázar Castle from above. You'll float for an hour, then descend to a champagne breakfast at the landing site. Aerodifusion, Spain's first balloon operator to earn official quality certification in the region, handles the whole affair with European safety standards.

What to expect
You'll be collected from the launch site and driven in a 4x4 to the balloon. Before dawn, the balloon is inflated while you watch. Once airborne, you'll spend an hour drifting silently over Segovia's monuments—the engineering feat of the aqueduct becomes obvious from height, the cathedral's proportions strike differently from above, and the castle's ramparts stretch across the hillside in ways ground-level photos can't capture. After landing, the crew serves champagne and a light breakfast. Bring layers; it's cooler aloft, even in summer.
