I really love rooftop bars they always feel like secret hideaways. Barcelona is such a fun and vibrant place and I would love to bar hop all these roof top bars. They all look so stunning and it is a great excuse to take in the lovely views. I love the sound of 360 and it oooks so slick too. I am all for cocktails and great views bring on Barcelona.
Hi Candice, thanks for your comment. Rooftop bars are great, especially in Barcelona! You’ll have to let us know if you try any of the ones on our list :)
There are so many rooftops in Barcelona from where to enjoy the city! Some hotels have a great advantage and they open their rooftops to people who aren’t guests too. I love the view of the port from El Sueño restaurant, on top of hotel Serras. It’s very calm and you can either have dinner there or some cocktails.
