6 Rooftop Bars in Granada You Have to Check Out

1. Monasterio Chill Out

This rooftop terrace was named after the Monastery of Saint Jerome, which was designed by the same architect as Granada's cathedral. You'll have front row seats to this Renaissance masterpiece while you sip on a refreshing cocktail, and because they cover the terrace throughout the winter, you can enjoy these fantastic views no matter what the weather brings.

Address: Hotel Los Jerónimos, Calle San Juan de Dios, 1

We strongly recommend you to visit the Monastery. Here lay the bodies of the Great Captain of the Granada wars, Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba, and his wife. As you can guess from just a glance, its architecture outside and inside won't leave you indifferent. — Enjoy the views of Monastery of Saint Jerome from Monasterio Chill Out.

2. Lemon Rock Bar & Hostel

This is one of the newest additions to the selection must-visit rooftops in Granada. While Lemon Rock is relatively new on the scene, it's got a lot going for it. The industrial-retro decor gives it a chilled-out vibe, and the tapas are great value for money—it's no wonder this place has become popular even among the locals. The relaxing terrace is an especially great place to beat the heat during summer as you sip on one of their famous mojitos (they're the best in the city!).

Even though you won't even notice the subtle movement, you'll enjoy breathtaking glimpses of the Alhambra, the countryside and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Those views paired with the most delicious fusion cuisine makes this one of the coolest rooftop bars in Granada!

5. Hotel Alhambra Palace

Back in the 90s, this was one of the city's most luxurious hotels, but even after recent renovations, it hasn't lost the Moorish essence that made it so popular in the past. Located on the same hill as the Alhambra, the location is unbeatable, and it's home to one of the most breathtaking rooftop bars in Granada to boot. You will almost feel like Moorish royalty watching the sunset over their beloved city from the hill of the Red Fortress.
