Balloon Ride
7 Locations
A balloon ride offers a rare view of Berlin, lifting you above the rooftops for a slow, quiet look at the city. Tethered over the centre or drifting across the countryside, a balloon ride turns sightseeing into something memorable. This tag collects Berlin locations tied to flights above the city.
A tethered helium balloon near Checkpoint Charlie rises high enough to take in the government quarter, the TV Tower and the sweep of Mitte on clear days. For longer trips, hot air balloon operators launch from the outskirts and Brandenburg, floating over lakes and forest at dawn or dusk. Flights depend on weather, so a flexible date helps.
Browse the venues below to plan a balloon ride, from a quick city lift to a longer country flight.
