Whether you’re in search of an unforgettable happy hour, a romantic sunset over the city or an atmospheric evening to start off your night, our favorite rooftop bars in Lisbon will exceed your expectations.
1. TOPO
Located six floors above the Praça Martim Moniz, TOPO is one of the trendiest rooftop bars in Lisbon. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, with incredible views of the Mouraria neighborhood and São Jorge Castle. The bartenders here hail from the prestigious Black Pepper & Basil beverage company, so you can be sure that the drinks are top-notch. It also offers snacks and a full lunch and dinner menu, and some nights even host DJ sets.
2. PARK
This Bairro Alto hangout is a classic spot for after-work drinks and all kinds of events—including epic parties. PARK is actually the top floor of a parking garage (hence the name) that’s been converted into a gorgeous garden oasis. Comfy chairs, an extensive drinks list and healthy—but hearty—cuisine make it easy to stay all night. And the 180° views of Lisbon aren’t too bad, either.
