Stop At: Museum-Reserve Dmitrov Kremlin, Zagorskaya St., 17, Dmitrov 141800 Russia

Start your Moscow hot air balloon experience with a hotel pickup after sunrise, then travel by luxury in an air-conditioned van to the outskirts of the city. On arrival at the flight site, meet your host and watch your brightly colored balloon inflate. Before loading into the basket, the pilot will conduct a safety briefing and you will receive the required technical information and then prepare for take-off. Board your hot air balloon and start your unforgettable experience from the region of one of the oldest Russian cities, Dimitrov, 60 kilometers from Moscow's city center, the city of Military Glory, founded in 1154 by Russian Prince Yuri Dolgorukiy. Float over the region admiring its beautiful landscapes from the sky.

You'll experience breathtaking 360-degree views of the famous sites such as the Dmitrov Kremlin, Assumption Cathedral (Uspensky Sobor), St. Elizabeth Church, Boris and Gleb Monastery, Vvedenskaya church, Kazanskaya Church and other popular sites. Get your camera ready to capture bird’s-eye views of the Moscow countryside. You can get unforgettable and incredible photos no matter where you stand in the basket.

During your flight you will be served a glass of champagne and some sweets to make your journey more pleasant. The air temperature is more or less the same as on the ground and the balloon moves at the same speed as the wind around it. After floating through the air, it’s time to return to ground level, so listen to your pilot’s instructions for a smooth landing. After touching down, you will get a special hot-air balloon diploma certificate. Finish your drink, then bid your pilot goodbye.

Finish your wonderful day with a private transfer back to your Moscow hotel or any place in central Moscow that you wish.
