World balloon
Berlin’s most exciting viewing platform at 150 meters
The Berlin Hi Flyer is one of the largest passenger tethered balloons in the world.
An unforgettable experience. Right in the center of Berlin, our world balloon at Checkpoint Charlie towers over all the skyscrapers around the Sony Center. Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Gendarmenmarkt, Friedrichstraße, Potsdamer Platz, the former Tempelhof Airport and the Tiergarten are all very close. On a clear day, the view even reaches as far as Marzahn or Spandau, Neukölln or Köpenick. The Müggelberge and Teufelsberg are also clearly visible. Thus, the world balloon offers not only a unique view of historic Berlin, but a sensational view of the entire new heart of Europe. The world balloon and observation gondola are secured with a steel cable and moored firmly to the ground.
