See Stockholm from Above – Discover the Magic of Hot Air Ballooning with Upplands Ballongflyg

Stockholm is often praised as one of the world’s most beautiful capitals. Built on 14 islands and surrounded by glistening water, lush parks, and historical landmarks, the city is spectacular from every angle. But if you truly want to experience its full charm, there is no better way than from the sky – in a hot air balloon.

And when it comes to hot air ballooning in Stockholm, no one does it better than Upplands Ballongflyg.

A Peaceful Adventure in the Sky

Hot air ballooning is the oldest form of flight – and still one of the most magical. As you gently rise above the city, the noise of the world below fades away.
