Lisbon the city of seven hills, with its incredible weather and unique light, is the perfect setting for some unique rooftop bars. With breathtaking views to the Tagus River, S.Jorge Castle, or towards the 25th April bridge, in Summer, rooftops across the city come alive and are indeed the best spot to enjoy sunset, or celebrate the arrival of the weekend or a well-deserved holiday.
The choice is wide and goes from the hipster spots to more classy and fancy ones. Hence we selected the top 5 so that you will know exactly where to go.
Park
Perhaps one of the most known rooftops among Lisboners. Its the cool and relaxed spot that hipsters go for a sunset drink, where the Dj sets the vibe.
Set in the heart of Bairro Alto, but a stone's throw from Chiado, Park, as the name suggests is located on the top floor of, yes, you guessed it - a car park. It's is the perfect spot to grab a burguer and a sangria, along with a one-of-a-kind Lisbon sunset.

Rio Maravilha
If you’re longing for a trendy and hip place, then Rio Maravilha is the spot for you, or it wouldn’t be located at Lisbon’s creative hub Lx Factory.
Rio Maravilha is a huge living room looking out onto the Tagus River, where you can eat, dance or get a cocktail while you watch the sunset or enjoy the view throughout the night. The cocktails with Peta Zetas carbonated candy are set to make your night pop!
There are areas to eat, others to dance or simply enjoy the moment. The outdoor terrace wins when it comes to enjoying a great sunset, or later in the evening, sweeping views of the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge enchanted with its twinkling lights.
