Perched high above the city in a rooftop bar, feeling on top of the world and a little bit regal on the Terrazas Malaga. There’s just something about having a bird’s-eye view that makes everything look better and make you feel a bit more luxurious. This is our list for those seeking a rooftop bar Malaga!
Why do we feel so special to be up on the rooftop of a building? It may be because it gives you an overview of the area and you can put the pieces of a city together in your mind. Perhaps it is just because it’s a new perspective or it feels as though there is exclusive access. Either way, we have a list you will want to keep reading and choose one or all of the rooftop bars on our list in Málaga!
Of course, in order to have an amazing rooftop, it often means a tall building. Most tall buildings in a city are hotels. If so, then we will also provide a link to the hotel, just in case you’d like to check it out and stay. Don’t worry if you aren’t going to stay there, as they are open to the public as well. Some may be seasonal, so check with them in advance.
It’s worth a visit during the day and then back again at night. With our list below, you will have sweeping views of the city center, the cathedral, the port or the Mediterranean Sea, all from a rooftop!
Let’s get to the list!
