London, UK: The Hoxton Southwark
You almost feel like you're in New York City when you take a seat among the palm trees that exude cosmopolitan vibes in front of brick pillars. But you are actually in Southwark, or more precisely, on the roof of The Hoxton. Its Seabird Restaurant is a dream spot on balmy summer days. The menu boasts the largest selection of oysters in London, natural wine and excellent cocktails.

Athens, Greece: Electra Metropolis
Electra Hotels are known for their warm, Greek hospitality. With the Electra Metropolis, Athens also has the perfect location for a rooftop restaurant. In the "Metropolis Roof Garden" you can dine in an extremely romantic atmosphere. The view from the 10th floor of the hotel is of the Acropolis and the lively city life of the city. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And although every time of day has its charm here, the night-time panoramas are the most spectacular.

Istanbul, Turkey: The Marmara Pera Hotel
The "Mikla" opened in 2005 on the roof terrace of the modern The Marmara Pera Hotel. It quickly developed into an urban hotspot. And not just thanks to its retro interior with inspiration from the 50s to 70s. But also because the views (including Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace) are simply beguiling. In addition, there is what is known here as "New Anatolian Kitchen": traditional ingredients that are respectfully transformed into delicacies. As a result, the restaurant has been consistently ranked in the legendary "The World's 50 Best Restaurants" list since 2015.

Budapest, Hungary: Matild Palace Hotel
The hotel is one of the younger hotels in the city, but scores points on several levels. On the ground floor, for example, with "Spago" by Wolfgang Puck. And right at the top with "The Duchess". The design comes from the multi-award-winning MKV Design Studio London. The views are provided by the city. The panorama includes the Danube, the Gellértberg and the Elisabeth Bridge. Excellent cocktails and exceptional wines harmonize with fine dishes from the Raw Bar. www.theduchessbudapest.com
Lisbon, Portugal: Altis Avenida
Located in the heart of the city, the hotel awaits its guests with 118 rooms, a gym and a gastrobar. The latter is called "Rossio" and is located on the roof of the hotel. Here, guests can enjoy Portuguese tapas, wines and cocktails in a stylish ambience. Both the drinks and the delicacies are inspired by the season. They are fresh, local and seasonal. No wonder it tastes good. After all, João Rodrigues is responsible for the food. And he has a Michelin star to his name.
