The 5 nicest rooftop and other terraces in Lisbon
1) Javá
|
The owners of Café Janis opened one of the city’s coolest rooftop bars in a renovated building overlooking Mercado da Ribeira. With both indoor and outdoor areas, Javá is a good option even for the cooler months. |
2) Insólito
Owned by the D’Eça Leal brothers, who also own the adjacent The Decadente, Insólito is true to its Portuguese name, which means ‘unusual’. It’s located on the top floor of a palace that overlooks the viewpoint of São Pedro de Alcântara and offers a mind-blowing view over the old city, the castle and the river.

3) Terraço Editorial
|
Hidden inside a homeware shop (Pollux) in Baixa, this rooftop offers a view towards Chiado and the downtown area, making it a better place to watch sunsets than the rooftops located on the opposite hill. |
4) Mona Verde
Mona Verde is an amazing rooftop restaurant and bar overlooking Liberdade with a hip atmosphere and unrivalled 360-degree views of the city. The mood, food and cocktails are Latin and Mediterranean. Great for lunch, sunsets, and dinner, it is also the best place in town to party on the weekend.
5) Catch Me
A truly magnificent terrace cafe located on the edge of a secluded garden next to the Antique Art Museum. The contemporary architecture of the cafe, designed as a glass structure, blends perfectly with the garden and the openness of the river that lies at its feet.
