Rooftop Bars in Rome Near the Vatican

Sean Finelli Last Updated: November 16, 2022

Whether you’re a fan of alcohol or not, everyone knows good rooftop bars in Rome can provide you with a wild view of one of the world’s greatest cities. It’s true what they say; Rome is absolutely incredible at night and its skyline, adorned with beautifully crafted, centuries-old rooftops and other Roman architecture, is a spectacular sight that will leave you in awe. Why not enjoy it in style, perched on a terrace over a glass of the richest of wines or the tangiest of mojitos? The following is here to guide you towards an unforgettable evening experience that will leave you reluctant to return home.


Best Vatican Tours

When visiting the Vatican, there’s no reason to visit one of the most iconic museums without an expert guide. We offer some of the best Vatican tours in the biz, all with skip the line access, small groups and flexible start times. Let us show you around.

Les Etoiles: Atlante Garden Hotel

Les Etoiles: Atlante Garden Hotel

This wide-open space, located in Prati, is perfect for large groups of people. Although the drinks may be slightly pricy, the breathtaking view of the Vatican makes it worth every penny. Aside from a massive array of sophisticated cocktails, dinner and appetizer menus are also available. Go at sunset, when the light shines perfectly atop the Vatican. The staff is wonderful, and this spot is kid-friendly. It’s a great place for a family reunion or any other larger group gatherings.

Address: Via dei Bastioni, Via Giovanni Vitelleschi, 34 | Tel:+39 06 686386 | Hours: 10 AM – 1 AM | €€€ 

Residenza Paolo VI

Residenza Paolo VI

Only steps away from the Vatican, Residenza Paolo VI captures an outstanding view of St. Peter’s Basilica. So centrally located, you can even hear the hustle and bustle of Rome. You can also enjoy the church bells and birds around this area. Many enjoy coming here for breakfast, complimenting the buffet choice. This terrace is located on the top of a simple but luxurious hotel.

0-300 Roof Garden at Restaurant All’Oro

Roof Garden at Restaurant All’Oro

All’Oro is a hip and modern roof garden that showcases Saint Peter’s Basilica on one side and the Spanish Steps on the other. With its white furniture, comfortable seating, and elegant champagne flutes, this is the perfect place for a dressy night in Rome. Its outstanding food reviews and highly valued Michelin Star can be validated with just one taste of their Fassona beef and truffle dish or Foie gras platter. Their starters maybe a little on the pricy side but they are to die for. If you’re looking to treat yourself, this is the place to go.

Address: Via Giuseppe Pisanelli, 23/25 | Tel:+39 06 9799 6907 | Hours: 7 PM – 11 PM, Sat & Sun 12:45 PM – 2:45 PM |  €€€€

La Terrasse Lounge boasts a sophisticated and intimate atmosphere, with walls adorned with original works of art. Enjoy the sunset in their luxurious armchairs or over a couple of cocktails. You may not want to go if you’re looking for a hearty meal because although the finger food is delectable, the main course portions can be quite small.

Address: Via Lombardia, 47 | Tel:+39 06 4780 22999| Hours: 12 PM – 12 AM | €€€€
