Lot balonem Kraków - widok na Wisłę i Wawel

Where the Plains Meet the Mountains

Kraków needs no introduction – church spires, castle towers and the legendary Wawel Royal Castle. But this region has much more to offer than the city – unforgettable views for baloon flights. The rolling green foothills of Małopolska, patchwork farmland divided into narrow medieval strips, and on clear mornings, the jagged line of the Tatra Mountains on the southern horizon. The Vistula River winds through the valley below, catching the early light. Our launch sites sit west and east of the city, chosen for the calmest air and the widest views. This is one of Poland’s most scenic regions from the air.

Common Questions

There's a few of us – can we be sure we'll be on the same flight?
Of course! Our flight calendar offers information on the number of open spots in each flight. Just choose one that has enough spaces for all of you and you sign everyone up for the same flight.
How long does the flight last?

We usually spend about an hour in the air. However, this depends entirely on terrain and weather conditions. Sometimes we land after just 50 minutes, as continuing the flight would require staying in the air much longer (for example, when approaching a city or dense forest). At other times, we may fly for 70 or even 80 minutes if the situation requires it (for example, when flying over a city in light wind and waiting to find a safe landing spot). Our balloons are always equipped with enough gas to safely remain airborne for 100–120 minutes.

However, you should set aside about 3–4 hours for the entire adventure. This includes a short passenger briefing, balloon setup, the flight itself, packing up the balloon, and a celebratory glass of sparkling wine shared with fellow passengers and the crew.


How many people are in the basket?

It depends – typically between 10-18 people.

Is flying in a hot air balloon safe?

A hot air balloon is the first — and statistically the safest — type of aircraft we can fly. DreamBalloon is a licensed air carrier approved by European, Scandinavian, and Polish aviation authorities. We operate under strict supervision and regulation. We hold a licence for conducting commercial passenger flights issued by the Danish Civil Aviation Authority and approved by the Polish Civil Aviation Authority. All our pilots are fully certified for commercial hot air balloon flights and undergo regular quality and skills assessments. These inspections are carried out in accordance with the company’s Operations Manual.
The equipment we fly is also subject to strict inspections, conducted at least once a year by two independent companies specialising in technical evaluations of balloons.

Balloon Flights Near Kraków

The Lesser Poland is one of those regions that looks good from anywhere. But from a balloon basket, it’s a completely different story.
The Vistula valley nestled between the hills, medieval castles and monasteries scattered across the countryside, fields stretching to the horizon in every colour – and on a clear day, the faint outline of the Tatra Mountains to the south. No photo does it justice. You have to see it for yourself.
Flights run from spring to autumn, launching west or east of the city depending on wind conditions. The gentle topography and reliably good weather make Małopolska one of the most rewarding regions for ballooning in Poland.
From above, even familiar places look different. The historic villages in the valleys, the roads winding between fields, the skyline of Kraków folded into the landscape – all of it takes on a new quality from the basket.
Ballooning is sightseeing of a completely different kind – open space, silence and a perspective that no other attraction can replicate. Kraków and Małopolska have a lot to offer from up there. Once you try it, you’ll understand what all the fuss is about.
