The 10 Best Rooftops in Seville, Spain | Elevated Surfaces

Welcome to Seville, a city where ancient streets meet a modern skyline. If you’re looking for a different perspective of the city, we’ve curated a list of the 10 best rooftops in Seville. From rooftop bars to historical locations, each offers charm and breathtaking views.

1. Sevilla Food Experience Rooftop

Number one on this list is a hidden oasis nestled in the heart of Seville, where a secret rooftop offers the perfect view of the iconic Seville Cathedral. This is not your your ordinary rooftop experience, but a one-of-a-kind opportunity to embark on a Paella cooking journey like no other.

Hosted by the talented owner of Sevilla Food Experience, this small group class takes place on the private rooftop residence. While you look at the panoramic view of Seville, you’ll hands-on learn the art of crafting the perfect paella and indulge in authentic sangria

While you’re eating paella you will see the perfect sunset across the Seville Cathedral – the prettiest sunset I’ve ever seen!

TIP: Schedule and buy your tickets online here. There are only certain dates that the cooking class is hosted so check early to plan your trip. The entire evening is $158 per person.

Address: You’ll meet outside of the Alfonso XIII Hotel gate right in the corner of Puerta de Jerez.

2. Terraza de EME Rooftop

Enjoy panoramic views of the iconic Seville Cathedral from this trendy rooftop bar, where you can sip on refreshing cocktails (the Aperol Spritz was so good!) and soak in the Santa Cruz neighborhood.

There’s ample space, and tables turn quickly – so even if there is a wait when you arrive, stick around, and you’ll get seated quickly. I also highly recommend coming just before sunset to see some amazing views.

TIP: This is a perfect spot to grab a cocktail and rest your feet after touring the Seville Cathedral – located right across the street. There is so much more to explore in Seville that you’ll need your energy!

Address: C. Alemanes, 27, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
Telephone: +34 954 560000
Open: Monday to Sunday 1:30pm-1:00am

3. Hotel Inglaterra Rooftop Bar

There is a hidden gem atop Hotel Inglaterra. This rooftop offers spectacular views of Plaza Nueva.

Their signature drink is the “Inglaterra G&T” (Gin & Tonic). The blend of premium gin, carefully selected botanicals, and the perfect balance of tonic water create a delightful and flavorful drink that perfectly complements the rooftop experience.

But all their refreshing and expertly crafted cocktails make this a favorite hangout by locals and visitors alike.

TIP: The food options on the rooftop are limited. If your group is hungry, check out Seis Tapas Bar for dinner after enjoying the sunset.

4. Metropol Parasol

This is an absolute must if you are visiting Seville. The futuristic Metropol Parasol is the world’s largest wooden structure. Everything except for the walkways and elevators is made entirely of wood!

Up top, you can walk along the elevated walkways, catch an amazing sunset, and watch the city come alive underneath.

There is a small bar on the top level; however, it doesn’t have a fatastic view. Instead, I recommend going to a bar on the ground level – there is a great wine bar nearby called Vinoteca Lama La Uva that you should also check out while in the area!

TIP: To get to the top, take the stairs down to the underground level, where you will find the elevator to the top (5€ ticket).

Address: Pl. de la Encarnación, s/n, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
Telephone: +34 606 635214
Open: Monday to Sunday 9:30am-12:30am

5. Las Terrazas de Abades Rooftop

If you’re in the mood for a nice dinner, check out Abades Triana. Their rooftop is on the roof of a historic building, Las Terrazas de Abades and offers a perfect view of the Giralda Tower and Seville’s skyline.

Abades Triana is known for their “Arroces” (rice dishes). The most popular is the “Arroz Negro” (Black Rice) infused with squid ink, calamari, and an array of spices that create a rich and savory combination.

TIP: If you want a more casual experience than their dinner, their outside patio is perfect for a quick glass of white wine and a cheese plate. Watching the boats pass in front of the Giralda Tower was so much fun.

The rooftop at the Hotel Doña María was the home of the first rooftop bar in Seville. And, its still one of the best with the most spectacular views of La Giralda and the Cathedral.

The pool and the water misters will keep you cool up on the roof during the scorching Seville summers.

During the weekends you can often catch some live jazz, blues, flamenco or DJ sessions while you sip your cocktails.

10. Maríatrifulca

Located at the end of Triana bridge, with a backdrop of colorful houses along calle Betis, Maríatrifulca has one of the most unique locations literally over top of Seville’s Guadalquivir river.

While primarily known as a seafood restaurant, its charming terrace, enchanting river vistas, and exceptional wine selection make it a great spot to just grab a drink. But if you are eating try the candied snapper, you won’t regret it.

TIP: The terrace, reserved for diners, is extremely popular so book at least two weeks in advance.
