As the warm weather settles in, Lisbon becomes even more inviting from above. The city’s rooftop bars bring together everything that makes this time of year so enjoyable: sweeping views over the Tagus River and Lisbon’s rolling hills, sunset music, expertly crafted cocktails, delicious bites, and atmospheres ranging from laid-back to sophisticated. Some are exciting new additions, while others have long been local favourites, but they all share one thing in common: the chance to see Lisbon from a whole new perspective.
If you’re staying at Luzeiros Suites, exploring Lisbon’s best rooftops couldn’t be easier. Thanks to its central location in the heart of the city, you can easily reach different neighbourhoods and return to the comfort of your accommodation after a sunny afternoon or a memorable evening out.
