The Best Rooftop Bars in Lisbon

Lisbon is a city of hills, so naturally it’s a city of rooftops. From a garden bar on top of a car park to sleek hotel terraces, these are the best rooftop bars in Lisbon for a sunset drink, with views over terracotta roofs, the castle and the River Tagus.

Quick answer: for the coolest vibe, Park on top of a car park in Bairro Alto. For castle views, the Rooftop Bar at Hotel Mundial or Topo Martim Moniz. For glamour, SEEN Sky Bar at the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade. For river views, the terraces at the Bairro Alto Hotel. Arrive 45 minutes before sunset, as the best spots fill up fast.

The best rooftop bars

1. Park (Bairro Alto)

Take the lift to the top of a multi-storey car park and you’ll find a leafy garden bar with views over the river and the 25 de Abril bridge. Relaxed by day, buzzing with DJs from Thursday to Sunday. Open daily from early afternoon until late.

2. SEEN Sky Bar (Avenida da Liberdade)

On top of the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade, renovated with a stylish restaurant and bar. Cocktails around €16–22, and lovely views over the city to the castle. One for a special evening. Stay here: Tivoli Avenida Liberdade.

3. Rooftop Bar at Hotel Mundial (Martim Moniz)

On the ninth floor, with 360° views and the castle almost close enough to touch. Central and often less crowded than the trendier spots. Stay here: Hotel Mundial.

4. Topo Martim Moniz and Topo Chiado

Topo Martim Moniz sits on the sixth floor of a shopping centre, with DJs and castle views. Topo Chiado, the sister bar, has even better views over the old town.

5. Bairro Alto Hotel terraces

The hotel’s terrace bar looks over the rooftops to the river, and it also has a pretty botanical terrace. Elegant, central and perfect before dinner in Chiado. Stay here: Bairro Alto Hotel.

6. Beyond Rooftop Bar (Chiado)

One of the newest rooftops in the city, opened in 2025 on top of a Chiado hotel, with views across the Baixa.

7. Lumi (Bairro Alto)

The rooftop bar and restaurant at The Lumiares, with views of both the river and the castle. Stay here: The Lumiares.

8. Rossio Gastrobar (Rossio)

At the top of the Altis Avenida hotel, overlooking Rossio square and the castle. Great for food as well as drinks.

9. Rio Maravilha (LX Factory)

A colourful rooftop in the old industrial complex under the 25 de Abril bridge, with a famous statue on the terrace and river views. Combine it with an afternoon at LX Factory.

Tips

• Sunset is peak time: arrive 30–45 minutes early, or book where possible.
• Bring a layer: rooftops get breezy once the sun goes down.
• Check opening: some rooftops close in bad weather or out of season, and hotel bars may limit non-guests at busy times.
• Prices: expect €10–16 for cocktails at most places, more at hotel bars.
• Want it all in one? See sunset and rooftop experiences or a sunset sail.
