The Best Rooftop Bars in Lisbon, Portugal (For Sunset Drinks & Stunning City Views)

Looking for the best rooftop bars in Lisbon? From my favourite mojito spot overlooking São Jorge Castle to rooftops for sunset drinks and dinner, here’s where I’d go after several trips to the city.

This post may contain affiliate links. Check out my Disclosure & Privacy Policy for more information.

I’ve been returning to Lisbon since 2017, and I still love seeing it from above—cue a castle on one hill, the Tagus beyond the rooftops, and far too many beautiful streets you’ll soon be spending the day climbing.

A cheeky rooftop drink is a great excuse to enjoy all of the above, from a mojito at TOPO Martim Moniz overlooking São Jorge Castle to a chic night out at SEEN Lisbon.

With that said, here’s the top rooftop bars in Lisbon to have in your back pocket for your trip.

Shall we?

The Best Rooftop Bars in Lisbon, Portugal

1. TOPO Martim Moniz

Location: 6th floor, Centro Comercial Martim Moniz
Good to know: Go inside the shopping centre and take the lift up to the sixth floor

TOPO Martim Moniz is the rooftop I’d recommend first for quite hidden viewpoints, very chilled staff, and very well-poured drinks. Go inside Centro Comercial Martim Moniz and take the lift to the sixth floor (the entrance doesn’t give much away).

Upstairs, I had a mojito looking towards the medieval walls of São Jorge Castle and views that really make you appreciate the difference between Lisbon’s hills and the orderly streets of Baixa, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. It’s one of my favourite views of the city, plus they do small bites too…

There’s a DJ programme too, and the best seat in the house is outdoors at sunset. Arrive before it gets busy!

2. SEEN Sky Bar & SEEN Lisboa

Location: 9th floor, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade
Good to know: You can walk in for the open-air Sky Bar, but for the indoor restaurant definitely book in advance.

SEEN Lisboa was my excuse to get dressed up and a lovely change from the casual daytime of Lisbon (think Art Deco-inspired interiors, chic cocktails and a very ‘night-out’ vibe).

The SEEN Sky Bar is the separate outdoor rooftop at the same Tivoli Avenida Liberdade hotel. Both on the ninth floor, but the Sky Bar’s much more walk-in friendly!

3. PARK Rooftop Bar

PARK

Location: Calçada do Combro 58, 6th floor
Good to know: Above a multi-storey car park

PARK really is on top of a car park on Calçada do Combro, and that’s half the fun. Use the lift to take you to the sixth-floor terrace and you’ll be instantly hit with views over Lisbon’s terracotta rooftops.

I’d choose it for casual drinks around Bairro Alto, before heading for dinner in Lisbon.

4. The V Rooftop Bar

The V Rooftop Bar

Location: The Vintage Hotel & Spa, Rua Rodrigo da Fonseca 2
Good to know: The terrace is a smaller space so consider booking in advance

The V Rooftop Bar at The Vintage Hotel & Spa has tropical plants, intimate seating areas and views towards São Jorge Castle. What more could you want?

I’d tuck into the sharing plates here (Alheira croquettes, please) and leave plenty of time for sunset with a cocktail and castle view in hand.

5. Secret Garden LX

Secret Garden LX

Location: Largo do Monte, Graça
Good to know: Free until 5pm, then a small charge

For something incredibly hip, find your way to Secret Garden LX, a terraced garden near Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, with music, outdoor tables and a little gallery. It’s quite different from the hotel bars and makes a great pair with an afternoon in Graça.

It’s free until 5pm, after which you’ll have to pay a few euros for entry, which comes with an annual membership, so more visits and a win-win! Worth it, especially for event nights.

---

6. BAHR & Terrace, Bairro Alto Hotel

BAHR & Terrace

Location: 5th floor, Praça Luís de Camões 2
Good to know: Be sure to reserve the terrace if you want outdoor views

For dinner with a view, dip into BAHR & Terrace on the fifth floor of Bairro Alto Hotel. It sits above Praça Luís de Camões, where Chiado meets Bairro Alto, with stunning views of the Tagus in the distance.

They serve contemporary Portuguese food, and unlike most of the others, I’d actually book it as a meal here rather than keep it just a drinks stop. Just be sure to ask for ‘BAHR’s terrace’ when you reserve.

---

7. Lumi Rooftop

Lumi Rooftop

Location: 5th floor, The Lumiares, Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara 35
Good to know: The outdoor terrace and indoor restaurant seating are different, so be sure to request the view!

Lumi Rooftop is on the fifth floor of The Lumiares, near Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara with old Lisbon rooftops and the Tagus all in one view.

Food-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice here with seasonal Portuguese plates by Chef João Silva, and a mean weekend brunch too. Book for lunch, dinner or drinks and of course, ask for an outdoor table!

Want Lisbon views from the water (or your room) instead?

Cheeky…of course you can!

For sunset on the water instead, I loved this two-hour Lisbon cruise with history and wine.

You can compare the other sailings in my boat tours guide, or find somewhere lovely to stay in my Lisbon boutique hotels guide.

Final Thoughts: Which Lisbon Rooftop Bar Would I Choose?

I’d go back to TOPO Martim Moniz in a blink, especially for the mojito and the views.

But for a dressier night, I’d just as easily return to SEEN Lisboa and Sky Bar, or for a lush Lisbon dinner, head to Lumi or BAHR.

Whichever you choose, it’s sure to be lovely!

Have the best time in Lisbon.

Happy travels,

FAQ: The Best Rooftop Bars in Lisbon

What is the best rooftop bar in Lisbon for a first visit?

TOPO Martim Moniz is my favourite, particularly for castle views, music and laid-back cocktails.

Where can I go for rooftop drinks with Tagus River views?

Try BAHR & Terrace or Lumi Rooftop. Both have river views and serve food.

Are Lisbon rooftop bars expensive?

It depends. Hotel rooftops usually cost more than casual terraces. I’d look at their drinks menu (all attached), and whether they charge entry like at Secret Garden, albeit it’s only a few euros.

Is SEEN Sky Bar the same as SEEN Lisboa?

No. Both are at Tivoli Avenida Liberdade, but SEEN Sky Bar is outdoors, while SEEN Lisboa is their separate restaurant and bar.

Do I need to book Lisbon rooftop bars in advance?

For dinner or a particular sunset table, yes, especially at BAHR or Lumi. All of the more casual bars on the list take walk-ins.
