In the outer Lisbon District, Hotel Baía's Blue Bar is bold and vibrant, with sparkling views by Cascais Bay. The bar was just renovated last year ith a new food and drink menu of sandwiches, tacos, smoothies and boozy sangrias. And once summer rolls around, themed rooftop parties with DJ sets at sunset are promised.

The Altis Avenida took advantage of the hotel’s expansion to create a new gastrobar with a terrace on the seventh floor. Complete with comfortable armchairs and a view over Rossio Square, the castle, the Santa Justa Lift, and the river in the distance Rossio Gastrobar's menu features seasonal products from Portugal like local oysters and veal tartare. As for cocktails, order the Olympia, a ‘daring’ combination between the margarita and Pornstar Martini.

Opening Hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 12.30pm-midnight; closed Monday and Tuesday

Right in the thick of Martim Moniz, the Hotel Mundial Rooftop Bar has built its reputation on Instagrammable staples like selfies in front of São Jorge Castle, and honestly, fair enough. The view does some heavy lifting, but there’s more to this bar than the skyline. A menu of petiscos and cocktails makes for an easy pick for late-afternoon lingering — the kind that casually slips past bedtime. And if you're lucky, you'll visit during a live set where a rotating cast of guest DJs amp up the terrace. 

Address: Hotel Mundial, Praça Martim Moniz 2, 1100-341 Lisbon

One of Cascais’ best rooftops is perched above this colourful, hybrid space — part shop, part café, part gallery — where the mood is as carefully curated as the menu. Its terrace delivers views over the red-roofed skyline and towering palms, and it looks even better with a glass in hand. Downstairs, the House of Wonders kitchen leans vegetarian and vegan. Expect salads, juices, cakes and teas — all guided by the owner’s imagination on any given day. It’s low-key, whimsical spot, and absolutely worth your time.

Address: R. da Misericórdia 53, 2750-642, Cascais

Opening Hours: Open daily from 10am-11pm

At Icon Rooftop within the Hyatt Regency in Belém, the view may be the headline act, but it’s the cocktails that truly steal the scene. The menu leans into reinvention of all the classics like the Golden Hour Negroni and the Summer Old Fashion. Come late afternoon, as the sun begins its slow descent, DJs take over and set the mood for an effortlessly stylish sunset session.

Address: R. da Junqueira 65, 1300-343, Lisboa

Opening Hours: Sunday to Wednesday from 3pm-11pm; Thursday to Saturday from 3pm-midnight
