Many people dream of being able to fly, and at City Skydive, these dreams come true. They are the first indoor skydiving centre in the world with two wind tunnels side by side. In a safe environment, under the supervision of certified instructors, you can experience free fall as a recreational flyer. It's like jumping out of a plane at an altitude of 4,000 metres, but without actually having to jump out of the plane. 

It is recommended that every beginner take at least four flights. With four skydives, you will have the opportunity to learn more, allowing the instructor to let you fly more independently. Independent skydiving gives you the ultimate feeling of freedom!
