Petőfi Bridge
Rooftop bar Budapest A38 Ship in Budapest
A38 Ship
$$ Petőfi Bridge, Buda side
  • Highlights
  • 3rd floor
  • Boat rooftop
  • Concert venue
  • Open day & night
Definitely not your ordinary rooftop. Located on top of an old Soviet rock carrier ship, this is not only a rooftop bar but also a restaurant, concert venue and exhibition space. Not that high in altitude, but the terrace still offers superb panoramic views of the Southern Pest the Liberty Bridge. The rooftop bar has a nice selection of assorted beverages and the restaurant very good local and European food, but the best thing about A38 rooftop is propably the great atmosphere, and the chance to see live DJs and many well-known bands and artists perform.

And as a bonus, the rooftop terrace also hosts more daytime/early evening summer events every now and then, like rooftop cinema, BBQs and major sport events on a big screen. A deluxe ruin bar with great views over the city.

Chain Bridge
Rooftop bar Budapest Raqpart in Budapest
Raqpart
$$ Chain Bridge, Pest bridgehead
  • Highlights
  • 2nd floor
  • River views
  • Party vibes
Calling Raqpart a rooftop bar might be a bit generous, but thanks to fantastic views and a second floor open terrace, it is ok. Since it also comes with a small private beach section it is even more ok. This summer hot-spot is located right by the Pest-side bridgehead of the Chain Bridge and offers lovely views over Donau and the bridge. The rooftop bar offers 'Lemonade for adults' and alcoholic smoothies, along with classic cocktails, wine and sparkling. Come early to enjoy sunny drinks and relaxing river views, or at night for live DJs, great vibes and a large crowd.

  • Highlights
  • Top of Bastion
  • Hitorical atmosphere
  • Magical 360-view
The Fisherman's Bastion is probably more known as an historic Budapest tourist attraction than as a rooftop bar. This majestic seven tower castle on the hills of Buda does however work as both.

All this to absolutely amazing views over the Donau and the Buda side of town, perfect for an unforgettable and romantic night.
