The 10 best rooftop restaurants in Berlin
The German Bundestag is the only parliament building in the world to house a public restaurant. There, you can expect a roof garden and modern German cuisine with fresh, regional products - as well as excellent service.
History wherever you look: Berlin State Opera, Hedwig's Cathedral, Berlin Dome. Lounge in style on Dedon furniture and enjoy a Champagne cocktail and seafood platter. Wednesday and Friday they have a barbecue.
The Monkey Bar on the tenth floor of the 25hours Hotel serves excellent gin and tonics and other drink creations with a panoramic view over City West and the monkey house. The interior is also inspired by the zoo: artworks of gorillas and giraffes and large planters give the urban venue a jungle feel.
A classic yet modern hotel bar with a motivated bartender. Seasonally inspired cocktails like the "Mandarin Ricky" or "Barrel-aged Negroni" are served at the stylish bar. Upstairs at the rooftop bar you can celebrate summer in the city with a Limoncello Spritz, all while enjoying a fantastic view over the city centre.
At Hotel Indigo Berlin between the East Side Gallery and the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Stylish and bright with a view over historic Berlin and the Spree River. Drinks from the Golden Twenties like a "Shimmy" or from Mexico like a "Titty Twister" with Mezcal - what more do you need?.
The highest beach bar in Berlin is located on the roof of a parking garage. Cocktails and small dishes accompany the view, which extends over large parts of the city. Sand, the smell of barbecue, chilly lounge furniture, DJ sets and atmospheric palm decorations convey a vacation feeling that is enhanced by the drinks.
A little quirky, a little whimsical and cool. Through the shopping center of the Neukölln Arkaden, you reach the top floor of the parking garage, which is equipped like a huge summer garden with beer benches, sandbox and herb garden. The sandwich and French fries concept feels appropriate.
The heavenly bar high above the main station offers everything a traveller's heart desires. It has expertly mixed classic cocktails and long drinks, a fantastic view of the city from the rooftop, and authentic Neapolitan pizza and pasta served by the in-house restaurant Gambino's.
An insider tip for many Berliners too: in the middle of the city, the rooftop bar in the chic boutique hotel is an oasis away from the tourist hustle and bustle: with a 360-degree view over the city centre, a good selection of sparkling aperitivi, classic cocktails, good wines and fine seafood as bar food.
Film-ready on the tenth floor of the Motel One Berlin-Upper West with photos of movie stars, cameras and props. With a view of the Memorial Church, Victory Column and Tiergarten, sightseeing begins from the terrace. Wine is available, but the bar specialises in gin and offers a matching tonic water with each gin.
