Best Rooftop Bars Lisbon Has to Offer
Park Rooftop
First up is one of my favorite rooftop bars in Lisbon, Park Rooftop.
Situated on top of a parking garage in Lisbon’s bustling neighborhood of Barrio Alto, Park Rooftop is an excellent bar to relax with some drinks while admiring a magnificent view over downtown Lisbon.
This is also one of the best sunset-watching spots in the entire city of Lisbon, so make sure to time your visit so you can enjoy the views while sipping on a drink.
The later you stay at Park Rooftop, the more the vibe will transform from casual and laidback to a bumping bar where DJs spin music for you to dance the night away!
All the drinks at Park Rooftop are tasty and their sangria is a must-try.
Cafe Princípe Real Restaurant & Cocktail Bar
Cafe Princípe Real Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, located on top of Memmo Princípe Real Hotel, embodies everything you could want in an upscale Lisbon rooftop bar.
With floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a sprawling open terrace that overlooks the city from every angle, this bar almost gives me LA vibes.
Take your rooftop bar experience to a whole new level by enjoying some of the delicious food available at Cafe Princípe Real, like beef carpaccio, prawn croquettes, and tuna tataki.
Make sure to grab an outdoor seat for unrivaled panoramic views—you’ll want to book a reservation in advance if you plan to visit during sunset or other busy times.
Silk Club
Silk Club is an exclusive fine dining and nightlife experience like none other in Lisbon.
Located on the top floor of a historic building in Chiado—Lisbon’s trendiest shopping district—this exquisite destination boasts stunning panoramic views, a sophisticated, minimalist design, and freshly crafted Japanese cuisine and cocktails.
I recommend booking a reservation ahead of time since Silk Club has limited capacity due to its insane popularity among locals and tourists.
The drinks at Silk Club can be pricy but the views make it so worth it—don’t forget they have a smart casual dress code so plan accordingly!
For anyone interested in Lisbon’s clubbing scene, stick around until midnight for Silk Club to transform into one of the city’s most exciting clubs.
Alfama Terrace
If you’re looking for a Lisbon rooftop bar with spectacular views of the Tagus River, Alfama Terrace is your destination!
Located atop Memmo Alfama Hotel, this rooftop bar is a great place to watch boats sailing by and enjoy the area’s colorful rooftops.
The main draw of Alfama Terrace is a luxurious, red-tiled rooftop pool, complete with sun loungers—the perfect spot to snap some photos for IG.
With an extensive wine list and an assortment of Portuguese cocktails and small tapas plates, this is one of the best rooftop bars Lisbon has to offer.
I’m still dreaming of the tranquil vibes at Alfama Terrace, and I can’t wait to go back.
Hotel Mundial Rooftop Bar
Enjoy the sights of downtown Lisbon from Hotel Mundial Rooftop Bar, located on the ninth floor of a gorgeous Lisbon hotel.
Here you can take in panoramic views of both the city and local landmarks like São Jorge Castle.
This Lisbon rooftop bar will have you feeling like a local since it’s a great hidden gem most tourists don’t know about.
Hotel Mundial Rooftop Bar is the perfect spot to sit back and relax with your friends while sipping on a cocktail and snacking on some tasty finger foods.
Everything about this rooftop bar just screams summer in the city, and the gorgeous views, delicious drinks, and immaculate vibes are hard to beat.
Topo Martim Moniz
For an evening in Lisbon like no other, make your way over to the Topo Martim Moniz rooftop bar.
Topo is tucked away on the sixth floor of an inconspicuous shopping center in Martim Moniz, and the “blink and you’ll miss it” location gives this bar a mysterious, exclusive vibe.
You can choose between indoor or outdoor seating and enjoy the breathtaking sights of the Mouraria neighborhood and São Jorge Castle from above.
Unwind with a delicious cocktail and admire the stunning sunset as you enjoy one of Topo’s yummy sandwiches or burgers.

Lost In is a fun bar with a funky eclectic vibe that’s unlike any other rooftop bar I’ve been to in Lisbon.
The outdoor seating at Lost In is made up of colorful tables with patterned umbrellas that are adorable af.

Located just a stone’s throw from Santa Apolónia Station, Ferroviario is the perfect spot for an evening out in Lisbon.
The charming tropical design of Ferroviario’s rooftop terrace coupled with the bar’s stunning views creates an amazing ambiance that you have to experience for yourself.
As a bonus, Ferroviario often hosts live music from DJs or other performers and when they do, the atmosphere is so fun and lively.
The drink menu at Ferroviario includes all the classic beer, wine, and cocktails, so everyone is guaranteed to find something tasty to sip on.

The V Rooftop Bar
My last pick for the best rooftop bars Lisbon has to offer is The V Rooftop Bar.
