Sunset Spritzes above Rome's domes, Milan's skyline cocktails, Amalfi Coast terraces — the bars with the views.
Plan your Italy trip →Terrazza Borromini (Piazza Navona): Directly above Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers. The view of Piazza Navona from above, with St. Peter's dome in the distance, is Rome's most cinematic. Cocktails €15-20. Reservation essential for sunset.
Hotel Raphael Terrace (near Piazza Navona): Intimate rooftop with 360° views over Rome's rooftops. The dome-to-dome panorama at golden hour is extraordinary. Boutique hotel vibe, less crowded than the big-name terraces.
The Court at Hotel de Russie (Piazza del Popolo): Not technically a rooftop but the secret garden terrace at the base of the Pincio hill is among Rome's most elegant outdoor bars. Fashionable crowd, beautiful landscaping, excellent Negroni.
Ceresio 7 (Via Ceresio): Two pools + cocktail bar on the roof of a converted customs building. The Milanese fashion crowd's summer headquarters. Aperitivo with views of the Alps on clear days. Reserve well ahead.
Terrazza Aperol (Piazza Duomo): Commercial but the view of the Duomo from directly across the piazza, at eye-level with the spires, is unbeatable. Spritz Aperol €12. Go for the view, not the drink sophistication.
Franco's Bar at Belmond Hotel Caruso (Ravello): Infinity pool perched 350 meters above the Mediterranean. The cocktail bar overlooks the entire Amalfi Coast. Among the most spectacular bar locations on the planet. Cocktails €20-25. Non-guests welcome but reserve.
La Sirenuse Bar (Positano): The hotel bar terrace overlooks Positano's cascading houses and the sea. Sunset here, with a Champagne cocktail, is a core memory in the making.
