Rooftop Bars

Looking for a place to chill after a long day to relax, not only with a cold drink in hand, but also with the best views of the city? Summer is around the corner, so take advantage of the warm nights and make the most out of it. Whether you want views of the ocean, views of famous monuments such as Gaudi’s La Pedrera house, or  360-degree views of the city, here are the best rooftop bars in Barcelona that you need to visit this season!

Sky Bar at Grand Central Hotel

Great views, infinity pool, good food and fairly good prices, at least by rooftop standards. The rooftop terrace opens to the public at 8:30 pm, but get there early because it tends to fill up fast!

Address: Laeitana, 30

Duquesa de Cardona

The terrace atop Duquesa de Cardona has some of the best views of Barcelona's old port. It also happens to be one of few rooftops in Barcelona that are well-equipped for winter. Not in town during the warm months? Don’t worry! They have heaters, blankets, and strong drinks to keep you warm.

Address: Passeig de Colon, 8

Condes de Barcelona Alaire Bar

Want to contemplate Gaudi’s La Pedrera from above? There’s no better place to do it than the chic Alaire Bar at the Condes de Barcelona hotel, perfectly set on Barcelona’s most elegant boulevard, Passeig de Gràcia.

Address: Passeig de Gràcia, 73-75

Hotel Barceló Raval Terraza 360º

Just as the name implies, this rooftop terrace has a 360-degree view of Barcelona, from Montjuic to Tibidabo to the Torres Mapfre and beyond. It’s sleek, it’s modern and it’s perfect for a sunset drink. 

Address: Rambla de Raval, 17-21

Wet Bar

Did we save the best for last? It depends on what you’re looking for. The Wet Bar at the W Hotel is undoubtedly the best spot for views of the water, and it also happens to be where the glamorous crowd hangs out on the balmy nights of summer. A live DJ on deck means there’s always a buzz at this super cool rooftop terrace.

Address: Plaça de la Rosa de Vents, 1

Hotel Pulitzer

You can’t get any more central than the rooftop at Hotel Pulitzer, just a few steps from Plaça Catalunya. This sanctuary of lush plants, candles galore and relaxing music is a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona’s city center.

Address: Carrer Bergara, 8
