Flight on the "SEOULDAL" Balloon: A New Way to Explore Seoul from Above

Seoul, known for its ultra-modern skyscrapers and traditional cultural sites, now offers residents and tourists a unique way to see the city from above. The recently launched attraction, "SEOULDAL" (Seoul Moon), an enormous gas balloon, promises to become one of the main highlights for visitors to the capital.

Unlike traditional hot air balloons that rise using heated air, "SEOULDAL" utilizes helium—a safe and non-flammable gas, making it easier to control and ensuring passenger safety. This balloon ascends up to 130 meters above the ground, allowing passengers to enjoy panoramic views of the city, including iconic sights like the Han River, central parks, and numerous skyscrapers.

In its effort to attract 30 million tourists annually by 2026, Seoul is actively introducing new and innovative tourist attractions. The "SEOULDAL" balloon is a bold attempt by the city to position itself alongside renowned tourist destinations like Paris and Budapest, which already offer their visitors the experience of observing the city from a balloon. This attraction not only highlights Seoul's cultural richness but also adds an element of adrenaline and excitement, making it appealing for all ages.

For those eager to experience this unforgettable adventure in the skies over Seoul, "SEOULDAL" operates from Tuesday to Sunday, from noon to 10 PM. The flight lasts around 15 minutes, giving travelers the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of the city and capture unique photos against the sunset sky. The combination of modern infrastructure and traditional Korean architecture makes this flight a memorable part of any visit to Seoul.

This new tourist attraction not only enriches Seoul’s cultural landscape but also represents another step in solidifying the city’s status as one of the world’s leading travel destinations.
