The Rooftop Guide was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2015. The lack of a complete and transparent guide to the world's best rooftop bars brought the idea which is now the world's largest website and guide about rooftop venues.
The motto is straightforward: Our aim is to help everyone find the ultimate rooftop for the ultimate experience.
The minds behind the The Rooftop Guide is Hans Ebenman and Rikard Fredricson, two old childhood friends who share a big interest in exploring the world.
