Private helicopter flight over Rome and Lake Bracciano

Rome

Nobody else in the other seats. The city first on the standard overflight lines, then north to the Bracciano crater with the castle on its rim.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the pad, headsets and briefing, then the lift.
  2. Rome under the windows, monument by monument.
  3. Out to the lake, a turn over the water and the castle, then home.

You are strapped into a small cabin for the whole flight, and a helicopter shakes in a way an aeroplane does not.

Where it is

Rome at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
