Lisbon is a beautiful city in Portugal, located right by the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the nice Mediterranean climate, it can become quite chilly here during winter. And that’s the reason some rooftop bars in Lisbon are closed during a couple of months every year. But there are also some that you can visit all 12 months of the year.
Winter open rooftop bars in Lisbon has become a big trend, and you can expect to see more winter terraces to open up in the future.
