It depends where you want to go, and how fast you want to get there.
Normal hot air balloons can only go where the wind take them.
The speed is as of that depending on the winds.
If the wind is too strong, it would not be good for the balloon.
If the wind is weak, you would not get anywhere in "reasonable" time.
The Germans experimented with Zeppelins. Enormous balloons filled with a gas that was lighter than air. I believe they used Helium, but I am not sure.
One problem of these enormous constructions was static electricity.
It is believed that static electricity was the main cause of this kind of travel never to become available to the public after there was a mayor catastrophe and the ship caught fire. (Hindenburg)
Hot Air balloons are believed to be pretty safe, but they are mostly used for the view, not for the purpose of actually travelling anywhere.
On a clear day with not much wind at all, you can float slowly away. No noise, no rush, complete relaxation as your eyes are filled with the views.
An average hot air balloon can travel about 25 to 30 miles.
A average hot air balloon can travel around 25 miles. But it all depends on how big it is and how much gas you have

The monglifier brothers were the first people to travel around the world in a hot air balloon known as the monglifier balloon
Yes
The hot air balloon was made for people to travel in the air.
one mile.
The hot air balloon changed the world's method of transportation. This balloon was now a method of travel that didn't exist before.
It travels at the speed of the wind.
hot-air balloon
In very simple terms, hot air is lighter than cold air, so it rises.
Maybe because they can travel 2 allot of miles and the hot air ballon is full of air
