The best rooftop bars in Lisbon

Rooftop bars in Lisbon range from very elegant rooftop terrace bars on top of hotels to trendy chic bars on garages and redesigned old spaces. Some boast open-air pools while others are perfectly designed to treat you to a lovely experience in the capital city.

Here’s our pick of the very best.

PARK Rooftop Bar Lisbon

Situated in the bustling neighbourhood of Barrio Alto on the sixth-floor of a garage, it must be said that the PARK Rooftop Bar can be a tricky place to find. It’s a great place to unwind, enjoy cocktails, see the sunset and get a 180° view of the city, downtown Lisbon and the 25 April bridge (“Ponte 25 de Abril”).

PARK bar also has a great ambience and it’s nicely designed with comfortable wooden chairs and flower beds which gives it a garden feel. The bar also has house DJs who play varied types of music like Brazilian funk and commercial American hip hop music. The atmosphere here during the day is usually mellow, but becomes very vibrant at night.
