One of the most riveting and unique experiences in Belgium is having an aerial bird’s eye view of the cities from a slow-paced gas balloon. As much fun as it sounds, a ride in one is equally exciting and is sure to give you an adrenaline rush. Unlike a dive or a fall, where you have only a few seconds to catch a glimpse of the city from above, a ride on the gas balloon will allow you to completely soak in the moment and have a great time. When you are done exploring the skies, be prepared to be welcomed with a certificate and a glass of champagne to celebrate the feat!
