To see the green expanse of Aranjuez from a different perspective, pile into the basket of the city’s favorite hot-air balloon, a replica of its 18th-century one called the Montgolfiere.
If you opt for the unanchored flight you won’t know exactly where or how far you’re headed because wind conditions dictate that. But you will, nonetheless, see the town upon take-off, just one big sea of green and monuments along the rivers; it looks surprisingly out of place when surveying the dry surroundings from on high. Expect the trip to last at least three hours.
Once the balloon has landed, a 4x4 will pick you up and haul you back to the base for cheap champagne and a cheesy ceremony in which flight “diplomas” are bestowed on wobbly passengers. The balloon takes off from the Plaza de Mariblanca, with two unanchored flights a day, one around 9 am and the other in the late afternoon.They also offer anchored flights that climb to a modest 27 m/90 feet or so in the intervals between the real lift-offs (6 Euro and 4 Euro).
