We are proud that with the implementation of the Liget Budapest Project we can restore more and more such traditions in their old light

The Ballon Lookout in the city park is a ground-mounted, helium-filled airship that acts as an outdoor elevator, meaning it does not leave its landing and take-off point, Mimosa Hill. The balloon reaches a maximum height of one hundred and fifty meters in five minutes, fills the same amount in the air, and also returns to the surface in five minutes. On board the vehicle, children and adults over the age of six are free to try out the flight experience.
Civic culture returned to the City Park

It is not at all obvious that the capital, but perhaps I can safely say, the favorite public park in the whole country should be full of B-category attractions only

There will be high-quality events, quality entertainment in the City Park, a real reminder of the happy times, the period between the Compromise and the First World War, when you drive through the Stephanie, come to the Grove, eat at the Wampetics, the predecessor of the former Gundel, meaningful civic entertainment
– Benedek Gyorgyevics added there, the House of Hungarian Music, the Ethnographic Museum and the other park attractions are trying to serve the public with dignity.
An important model of the Ballon Lookout in the city park is the Ballon de Paris Generali in Paris, which has been a favorite attraction for locals and tourists alike since 1999. The Parisian balloon, which is environmentally friendly and noiseless, is now seen as heading to Paris since 1999 and has become an important symbol of the city. A sight like the Ballon Lookout is operating in twenty-eight countries around the world, from the United States to Berlin, from Paris to Singapore.
You can also admire the illuminated capital with a night ticket
Zoltán Závodszky, CEO of BallonKilátó Zrt., Spoke at the press conference about the fact that structures like the Ballon Lookout have been operating safely and accident-free in many parts of the world for decades, to the greatest satisfaction of local guests and tourists.
Visitors will be able to choose from several types of tickets, fly in the sparkling sunshine during the day, but also admire the illuminated capital with a night ticket. International experience shows that a few minutes spent high at sunset will be one of the most popular ticket types. Abroad, it is still fashionable to soar on exceptional occasions, be it girlfriends, photography, private travel or a joint corporate experience. Of course, these will also be available at the Budapest location
He said. The CEO also mentioned the City Park Balloon Lookout is the French Aero 30 NG system, which is currently the most widespread and safest balloon lookout system in the world. Many popular foreign entertainment centers – Disneyland-Paris; Safari Park-San Diego; Angkor Vat – also operates this type of balloon view system.
The most photographed, iconic structure in the City Park was the Ballon Captif, during the millennium celebrations at the Millennium Exhibition in City Park in 1896. The expanse balloon, operated by Captain Louis Godard of the Paris Airship, flew twelve to fourteen passengers at a time, and was enormous and set off a dozen times a day. In the framework of the Liget Budapest Project, the revival and implementation of a balloon lookout fits in with the program that evokes the traditions of the park in a modern form.
