The Best Rooftop bars in Barcelona

There are some great rooftop bars in Barcelona. The rooftop restaurants and bars have great views over the city. Most of the rooftop bars are part of a hotel, but for most you don’t need to stay at the hotel to visit the rooftop bar. On this page I’m sharing the 23 best rooftop bars in Barcelona. It’s an extensive list and I think I covered all notable rooftop bars in Barcelona. I’ve arranged them in order of my recommendation with the number one rooftop bar in Barcelona being the one at Ayre Hotel.

The rooftop bar from Sercotel Rosellón has a beautiful view over the Sagrada Familia! Here you can have lunch, drinks or dinner while you stare at Gaudi’s masterpiece. You can also make great pictures for your Instagram account at this rooftop bar with views over the Sagrada Familia.

Hotel Colon

Another great rooftop bar with views over a cathedral is Hotel Colon. This hotel is right across the Cathedral of Barcelona in the Gothic Quarter. From the rooftop restaurant you can watch the beautiful Barcelona Cathedral.
Fun fact: you can also visit the roof of the Cathedral itself. But the views are better from Hotel Colon as you can see the Cathedral towers from there.
