Rooftop bars are some of the best places to end a great day (or even a bad one) in a stress-free, enthusiastic atmosphere. Sure, you could go to any bar that isn’t located on top of anything, but where’s the fun in that? If you’re scared of heights, these places may even help you with that by offering you the opportunity to see the city you’re in from a different perspective and in a completely safe way, whilst you drink something tasty to steady the nerves. You’ll be surrounded by people having fun and the soothing rhythm of music and there will be no reasons to be afraid. If you’re not scared of heights at all and love to feel like a bird, you have to try one (or several) of the bars we’ve listed for you.
