Best Rooftop Terraces in Barcelona

Great weather calls for being outdoors, and what better way to enjoy being outside than relaxing, drink in hand, and at one of the best rooftop bars in Barcelona?

Abundant sunshine, enchanting architecture, fun expats, loving locals make for some excellent rooftop terraces in Barcelona.

Along with spectacular views these terraces often feature live music, dining and events.

La Dolce Vitae at Majestic Hotel

Situated on one of the most luxurious streets in Spain, Passeig de Gràcia, La Dolce Vitae based at the Majestic Hotel offers striking 360-degree views of the Barcelona skyline. La Dolce Vitae even earned the title of Best European Hotel Rooftop in 2019, so you are sure to fall in love with an evening spent sampling the culinary delights whilst looking out over Barcelona’s iconic landmarks, such as the Sagrada Familia and Agbar Tower. The only consequence that comes with such luxury is that the price is a bit luxurious too.

Visit Up at Pulitzer Hotel
