Altough is on the first floor of the Memmo Alfama Hotel, this bar is elevated above the entire neighborhood of Alfama, providing some of the best view of Tagus river.

Overlooking 25 de Abril bridge, this bar it's not spacious, but it's already been considered one of the most beautiful terraces in the world. 

 

Rooftop Bar

On the 9th floor of the Mundial Hotel, there's a terrace with one of the greatest views of the castle. In fact, the castle seems so close you can almost touch it.

Entretanto

The terrace on the 7th floor of Hotel do Chiado with breathtaking views of Lisbon.

Lost In

A colorful terrace facing east with an exotic decor inspired by India and zen ambiences. 

 

Varanda do Castelo

A fancy rooftop bar on the last floor of Vintage Lisboa Hotel. 

 

Upscale

While most other rooftop bars are in the historic center of town, this one is in the modern city, at the top of a luxury hotel.

FEAST OF SAINT JONH - PORTO'S PATRON SAINT

The feast in honour of Saint John in Porto is one of the liveliest street festivals in Portugal and it takes place on 24th of June. 

 

Although the feast has a religious foundation, it's better known for people hitting on each other's on the head with plastic hammers, a tradition which no one seems to know its origins. At first, this tradition might be seen a little bit violent, but everybody is very gentle when hitting, and also, it's a great way to meet people especially when the main target is the opposite sex.

PAVILHÃO CHINÊS

One of the most bizarre bars of the Portuguese capital. Hundreds of collections of all kinds fill the cupboards and walls of each room: toy soldiers, aircraft posters, jugs ... There's not a space of wall in sight.

To enter you must ring the bell. They will let you even if you do not know the password (provided it is not full), but prepare your wallet because it is characterized by not being one of the cheapest bars in Lisbon.
