Two tips from us before you visit any of these amazing roof bars are to look out for the rooftops also serving dinner and try to plan your visit during the sunset hours to get the maximum experience.
Ambiance: Located on top of the five star Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa, right in the center of Lisbon, SEEN Sky Bar is an elegant and chic rooftop bar filled with cool vibes and stunning views. Going strong for over 10 years, SEEN Sky Bar has never stopped evolving, and after a 2024 renovation, the rooftop is now more beautiful than ever. Completely outdoors and set over different levels, here you find a mix of comfy lounge sofas, stylish dining tables and bar stools right at the edge, and a lush marble bar as impressive centerpiece.
Drinks & Food: Surrounded by panoramic views of Lisbon, from downtown all the way out to the river, here you can indulge in an impressive set of crafted cocktails, both signature creations and timeless classics. There is also Super Bock beer on draught, as well as champagne, sparkling and wine by the glass or in bottle. Bar bites with Mediterranean and Japanese influences (many perfect to share) are also available, ranging from 'Fresh Oysters' and 'Angus Carpaccio', to taco and sushi.
What we think: We’ve been here 3 times in the last 6 years, and after every visit we’re more and more impressed. The latest revamp in 2024 was great! A novelty for 2025 is that SEEN Sky Bar now offers al fresco lunches, turning it into an all-day venue. Visit for a sunny break during the day, glamorous and sophisticated sunset bites and drinks, or vibrant and upscale nights, often featuring live acts and DJs.
Dress code: The SEEN Sky Bar dress code is casual chic. Flip flops and beachwear are not allowed.

SEEN SKY BAR
Ambiance: Nestled between Chiado and Príncipe Real, right opposite the scenic Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara terrace, the excellent hotel Independente Príncipe Real offers its own elevated spot to take in Lisbon from above. An iconic elevator will take you up to the top floor Insólito Rooftop Bar, where you find a terrace that is one of the highest points in the city, also surrounded with some of the best panoramic views.
Drinks and Food: While not a new Lisbon rooftop venue, Insólito recently made some refreshments and changed concept, turning from a restaurant and a bar into just a bar. From the rooftop bar you can order creative and crafted signature cocktails, refreshing drinks, wines and aperitifs, as well as elevated small plates perfect to share.
What we think: The interior and views are the two best things up here! And also the two biggest reasons we love it! Filled with a fun and vibrant atmosphere, and dressed with comfy vintage furniture, this is an urban and bohemian hot-spot to let beautiful sunset hours turn into social and trendy evenings.
Dress code: The Insólito Rooftop Bar dress code is smart casual. Smart casual is an approach to dressing professionally that mixes trendier pieces in with classic staples. The goal is an appearance that’s clean and professional but doesn’t look too formal.
INSÓLITO ROOFTOP BAR
Ambiance: The ROOFTOP Bar Mundial, found on the 9th floor of Hotel Mundial, is somewhat of a hidden gem, and also a favorite among the Lisbon locals. With a location in the heart of Lisbon, close up views of Castelo de São Jorge and panoramic 360º vistas of the entire city all the way to Tejo River, it is easy to understand why. One of the best rooftop bars Lisbon has to offer regarding majestic views. Hotel Mundial's rooftop bar rooftop comes with a bright and trendy feel, both regarding atmosphere and decor.
Drinks and Food: From the bar you can get a variety of tasty drinks from both an extensive cocktail and gin menu, or go for some refreshing sangria, wine or beer. There is also a selection of Portuguese tapas and bar bites, created by Chef Vitor Sobral.
What we think: We can recommend everyone to come here in 2025! The ROOFTOP Bar Mundial does not take reservations, and as said, it is a popular place among the city locals. So be in good time to catch a prime spot, the sunset and a bit calmer atmosphere. Or show up later to enjoy a more vibrant and crowded atmosphere, and fantastic night-time panorama views of Lisbon.

ROOFTOP BAR MUNDIAL
Ambiance: On top of the 5-star hotel Altis Avenida, close to Rossio Square in the heart of Lisbon, you used to find the rooftop restaurant Brasserie Rossio. But since spring 2019 the hotel holds a new rooftop venue, called Rossio Gastrobar. Regarding the view, the amazing panoramas over Lisbon includes famous spots like Rossio plaza, the Santa Justa Lift, Tagus River and the Rua Agustina Arch.
Drinks and Food:From the rooftop bar you can order fantastic signature cocktails prepared by Flavi Andrade. Following the seasons, all ingredients are made from scratch, and the drinks are truly hand-crafted and unique creations. To go with the drinks, there is a food menu with dishes made perfect to share. Created by Chef João Correia, you can expect bites of the highest quality.
What we think: We’ve been here twice since 2018 and seen the place turn into a superb rooftop bar! Open from noon to late at night most days of the week, Rossio Gastrobar is a great spot for relaxing and sunny pre-dinner cocktails and bites. But also for late night drinks and a bit more vibe, highlighted by live DJs during weekends. A bit more expensive than the general rooftop bar Lisbon, but with first class service and quality in food and drinks it is well worth it. The Rossio Gastrobar should definitely be on the 'must-visit' list.

ROSSIO GASTRO ROOFTOP BAR
Ambiance: Silk Club is a versatile rooftop, offering both a top-class clubbing and dining experience. It's definitely one of the best rooftop restaurants in Lisbon, and as a side, you also get amazing 270-degree views over Lisbon and the ocean. Up here you find a very trendy and stylish terrace, decorated in a classic lounge style with large comfortable sofas. The indoor restaurant is equally stylish, and does not feel very indoors, thanks to large windows and open walls out to the terrace.
Drinks and Food: From the restaurant you can order a wide selection of fresh Japanese dishes, like Sushi and Wagyu Beef. Or you settle for drinks from the bar, which offers tasty and well-made cocktails, along with fine selections of wine, champagne and spirits. The atmosphere at the Silk Club is always luxurious and sophisticated, but a bit different depending on the hour of the night. Opening at 7pm, the terrace is the perfect spot for early night sunset cocktails and the restaurant for a fine rooftop dinner.
What we think: We’ve been here 3 times since 2017, and we’re still in love with Silk Club! After midnight (especially on weekends) the mood transforms towards the clubbing experience, and it is the place to be for a rooftop party with a trendy crowd. Reservations for dinner is highly recommended, and after midnight you can also reserve a table for the club and bottle service. The terrace however works on a first come, first served basis (as does the small 8 seat sushi bar inside), so try to be in good time to catch a spot on the quite small outside area.
Dress code: The Silk Club dress code is smart casual. Gym shorts, tanks, hats, caps, sportswear and/or flip flops are not allowed.
