Lisbon is a city built on seven hills which basically means incredible views are everywhere you turn. Sure, you can chase the classic miradouros (viewpoints), but if you really want to soak in the skyline with a drink in hand, Lisbon’s rooftop bars are where the magic happens. From boho terraces to chic cocktail lounges, these spots blend unbeatable views with great vibes, food, and music.
Here are ten of the best rooftops in Lisbon to sip, relax, and watch the city glow.
Sky Bar by SEEN
Perched atop the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Hotel, Sky Bar by SEEN is all about glamour. Think sweeping views over Lisbon and the Tagus River, sleek design, and perfectly mixed cocktails. It’s one of those places where you dress up a little and feel instantly sophisticated. Perfect for a romantic date or a fancy night out with friends.
Park
If you’ve heard whispers about a rooftop hidden above a parking garage — this is it. Park sits atop a car park in Bairro Alto and has become one of Lisbon’s favorite sunset spots. With a relaxed crowd, DJ sets, and panoramic views (including the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge), it’s the perfect place to kick off your night in the city.
Ferroviário
Located near Santa Apolónia, Ferroviário is a sprawling 500-square-meter terrace that feels part festival, part chill-out zone. You’ll find live music, creative cocktails, and a lively atmosphere that shifts from lazy afternoon lounging to upbeat nighttime energy. The view over the Tagus River doesn’t hurt either.
Lost In
True to its name, Lost In feels like stumbling into a secret hideaway. Tucked in Príncipe Real, this colorful, bohemian rooftop is full of cozy nooks, vibrant decor, and a tranquil vibe. It’s the ideal spot for an afternoon drink and a moment of calm away from the city buzz.
Rooftop Bar – Hotel Mundial
For those who want the whole city at their feet, Hotel Mundial’s rooftop offers a 360-degree panorama of Lisbon. From here, you can spot landmarks like São Jorge Castle and the Tagus River, all bathed in golden light at sunset. Come early, grab a drink, and watch the sky change colors — it’s pure magic.
Carmo Rooftop
Set beside the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the Carmo Convent, this rooftop offers a front-row seat to some of Lisbon’s most historic sights, including the Santa Justa Elevator. The laid-back atmosphere and intimate setting make it perfect for a quiet evening with a glass of wine and a bit of people-watching.
Mama Shelter
If you like your rooftops with a side of fun, Mama Shelter near Marquês de Pombal is the place to be. Expect funky decor, upbeat music, and a youthful, energetic crowd. The pizzas are great, the cocktails even better, and the view — well, that’s just the cherry on top.
Terraço Editorial
Hidden above the Pollux department store, Terraço Editorial is a more local, classic experience. With hearty Portuguese dishes, excellent wines, and a relaxed, welcoming feel, it’s the kind of place where you can linger for hours while the city hums below you.
Miradouro de Baixo das Carpintarias de São Lázaro
This one’s a bit different — not exactly a bar, but a secret viewpoint that deserves a mention. Away from the tourist crowds, this terrace offers one of the most unexpected and peaceful views of Lisbon’s historic center. Bring your own drink, find a spot, and enjoy the calm.
RubyRosa Rooftop Bar
Mysterious and a little bit glamorous, RubyRosa has serious speakeasy vibes. Its burlesque-inspired decor and intimate lighting make it one of Lisbon’s most unique rooftops. The cocktails are creative, the crowd is stylish, and the view — absolutely stunning.
Explore Lisbon from Street to Sky
There’s no better way to experience Lisbon than from above, watching the city’s red rooftops and river shimmer in the sun. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or you’ve been here before, exploring these rooftops is like rediscovering Lisbon all over again.
