One of the most popular destinations in Australia, Melbourne offers plenty of sightseeing fun especially when done from high above in a hot air balloon! Since many of these scenic tours take place from the city itself it is best to find centrally located hotels Melbourne and The Langham Melbourne is an ideal choice. Looking out across the Yarra River, it offers luxury Melbourne accommodation on the city’s famous Southbank Promenade. The best time to enjoy hot air ballooning in Melbourne is early morning, when the sun begins to rise. As you soar above the cityscape you will be greeted to a breathtaking sight of towering skyscrapers, scenic parks, sporting venues and popular landmarks being slowly touched by the golden light of the sun’s first rays. A perfect adventure for the entire family, a hot air balloon ride over the city also offers an intimate getaway for those looking for a truly unique and spectacular setting in which to “pop the question!”
