Flying in a hot air balloon is an amazing experience, with breathtaking views and a unique feeling of freedom.
Our Balloon flight has a 1-hour flight time, but you should have at least three hours for the whole ballooning experience. The flights take place early in the morning, around sunrise, because it is when conditions are best for ballooning. The exact time depends on the time of year and will be confirmed with you before the flight.
Floating over Évora in a hot air balloon turns a cultural journey into something beautifully dreamlike. The moment the balloon rises, the Alentejo landscape opens wide beneath you: endless golden fields, vineyards stretching toward the horizon, and cork oak trees dotting the countryside like a natural tapestry. Évora’s history becomes even more fascinating from above. You can spot the ancient city walls, Roman ruins, and the striking cathedral standing proudly in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage city.
The experience begins early in the morning when the world is quiet and the air is cool. Watching the balloon inflate is part of the magic, a slow reveal that builds anticipation. Once you lift off, everything turns peaceful. There’s no engine noise, just gentle breezes guiding your view. The sunrise paints the sky with soft colors that shift every minute, making every angle look like a scene from a postcard.
As hot air balloons travel on the wind, you never know where exactly you're going to land, which makes it all the more exciting. The pilot will start looking for a suitable landing site after around 45 minutes. An ideal field will be free from crops and animals with good access. The retrieval crew will track the balloon on the ground and aim to arrive shortly after. After the balloon is packed away, they will transport you back to your meeting point.
You can book with us a Standard Group Balloon flight with a capacity of 4 to 30 people, or for special occasions, whether it be an anniversary, honeymoon, or even a wedding proposal, what better way than to celebrate with your own Exclusive private balloon ride.
