Rooftop Bar & Lounge at Hotel Mundial
The rooftop of the Hotel Mundial is one of the oldest in the capital, with over 10 years’ experience.
Located in the center of Lisbon, in downtown Lisbon, and with one of the best views of the city, this terrace “close to the sky” has quickly become one of the capital’s greatest references for starting the evening, as well as extending it with an incredible dinner service.
The menu is signed by the well-known Portuguese Chef Vítor Sobral, who has added to the delicious delicacies to share a series of other dishes to serve for dinner such as the Sirloin Steak with Wild Mushrooms (32€), Bitoque da Vazia (21€) and Bitoque de Atum (21€).
In addition to this menu and the incredible panoramic view, the terrace of the Hotel Mundial is one of the rooftop restaurants that offers one of the widest varieties of drinks with cocktails, gins, champagnes, sangrias, among many other surprises.

In the same place, you can also go for a run on the track that runs around the space.
