What better way to enjoy Portugal’s capital city than with a cocktail and dinner in one of these rooftop bars and restaurants in Lisbon…

As much as you enjoy exploring Lisbon’s historical charm by foot, sometimes it’s nice to just relax and head to the skies for a classy cocktail or fine dining dinner, with the views of the city beneath you. Fortunately, when it comes to rooftops, Lisbon ticks the boxes with plenty on offer, all with spectacular views (some even with a swimming pool).
