Balloon Fiesta in Kosice, Slovakia – one of the best events in the country
Kosice is known as being one of the most beautiful cities in Slovakia. Visiting it is an adventure and wonderful experience itself, but visiting the city during one of the best events that occur here annually is the icing on the cake! And Balloon Fiesta – Hot air ballooning is definitely one of the events you should really go to!

We look forward to seeing it every year as it is really unique and only such event in Slovakia. To be honest I only knew Capadoccia in Turkey as the other place with hot-air ballooning but I was searching for some other places around Europe and found a few more.

This year (2018) there was a picnic area with some activities for children, snack bars, an evening summer cinema and, of course, a balloon launch area. You could try walking through the balloon, admire classic cars, see balloonists passing the city centre, try an anchored balloon flight, enjoy night glow with fireworks and a lot more!
Unfortunately, this year’s Fiesta ended last Saturday but we can already look forward to enjoying it next year again. As always, Balloon Fiesta in Kosice will be a big event worth attending! See you there! 🙂
