From September 27th to October 12th, the Paestum Hot Air Balloon Festival in Cilento offers the truly unique opportunity to admire the famous temples from the sky. Visitors can enjoy free flights, tethered flights, kite displays, and a children’s play area.
Imagine the sky of Paestum filled with dozens of colorful hot air balloons and imagine the opportunity to admire the famous temples and, more generally, the beauty of Cilento from above. We are in Campania, a land that needs no introduction, and here from September 27th to October 12th, the Paestum Balloon Festival will be held, a truly unique and evocative event.

Those who wish can experience the thrill of a free flight, departing from the archaeological area and landing in complete safety on a flat spot identified during the flight. The flight can also be an opportunity to satisfy your curiosity about the world of hot air balloons directly from the pilots. The minimum height to participate is 120 cm. Inflations and takeoff: in the morning at 7:30 a.m. and in the afternoon at 4:30 p.m.

For the more cautious, there is an area within the village specifically set up for tethered hot air balloon flights. These balloons, anchored to the ground with special ropes, rise approximately 20-25 meters, offering the truly evocative opportunity to see the temples of Paestum from above.
