Barcelona's magic isn't just in its streets.
Look up.
The rooftop bar scene is a whole other world. We explored it for you.
What We Look For in a Rooftop:
The View
Has to be stunning. No exceptions.
The Vibe
Chill, chic, or party? It has to be right.
Sunset Potential
Is it the spot for golden hour?
The Rooftop Power Rankings
1. The Pulitzer Terrace
The Vibe: Live music and a buzzing after-work crowd. It's more about the atmosphere than panoramic views, but it's pure Barcelona energy. A local favorite.
2. 1881 per Sagardi
The Vibe: Atop the Museu d'Història de Catalunya. Offers an insane view of the port and Barceloneta. Great for watching the boats go by with a drink in hand.
3. La Dolce Vitae at Majestic Hotel
The Vibe: Super chic and upscale on Passeig de Gràcia. The views of the city's landmarks are incredible. Pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.
4. Skybar at Grand Hotel Central
The Vibe: Famous for its infinity pool and 360-degree views over the Gothic Quarter and beyond. It feels exclusive and luxurious. A top spot for impressing someone.
5. Ayre Hotel Rosellón
The Vibe: The view. It's all about the direct, jaw-dropping view of the Sagrada Família. It's not the fanciest bar, but the photo op is unmatched. You have to book ahead.
Fair views for everyone?
A great view is only great if everyone can get there easily.
