Douro Sky Lounge, Rooftop bar in Lordelo do Ouro e Massarelos, Portugal

Douro Sky Lounge is a rooftop bar on the top floor of Vincci Porto hotel overlooking the Douro River and Ponte da Arrábida bridge. The space divides between a climate-controlled indoor area and an open terrace.
History
The bar opened as part of the Vincci Porto hotel development, converting a former fish market area into a modern gathering spot. This transformation marked how a traditional port district evolved into a contemporary leisure destination.
