No real surprise that there are so many great rooftop terraces. After all, Barcelona’s got the views.
Hi Cheryl, thanks for your comment. You couldn’t be more correct, Barcelona’s skyline really is unbeatable.

Barcelona is one of those 24 hour cities. Every now and again you need a time-out to recharge. Nice to have one of these terraces for that recharge.
Hi Joe, thanks for your comment.
You are so right. The terraces here are fabulous for a bit of tranquility.

Those of us of a certain age still remember Barcelona from the TV coverage of the 1992 Olympics.
It was the views from the diving board, looking down on the city, that quite literally took our breath away.
These roof-top terraces may not have that extreme height but we can imagine the views that they must have.
Hi Pete, thanks for your comment.
The rooftops certainly do their best at trying, you should check them out for yourself if you’re able to! The perfect places for a truly unforgettable evening.

We’re sort of planning a long weekend in Barcelona for the autumn. When we are choosing our accommodation we ought to factor in having a roof terrace handy. It looks like a perfect way to unwind after a busy day.
Hi Charli,
Thanks for your comment. Autumn is a great time to visit Barcelona as well as it’s not too overcrowded with tourists & the weather is just perfect! We hope this article will help you to truly enjoy your holiday to Barcelona.
