Hot Air Ballooning in Lithuania

Vilnius is one of the only capitals in Europe where it’s completely legal to fly in a hot air balloon over the city legally. The views down below are completely breathtaking and you can either fly directly over the Vilnius old town or choose, like I did, to fly over the nearby city of Trakai instead looking down upon it’s beautiful lakes and castle as you soar in the balloon with an experienced driver. Lithuania is becoming more and more popular and it’s easy to see why as it hosts so many incredible other spots outside of the capital like the Hill of Crosses (a hill made up of over 200,000 crosses), the dunes of Nida and the amazing cities of Kaunas and Klaipeda.
