Seville offers numerous rooftop bars that provide elevated vantage points over the old town. These establishments are primarily located on hotel rooftops and in converted historical buildings throughout the city center. Many sit within proximity to the Giralda and Seville Cathedral, allowing visitors to observe the Gothic architecture from an elevated position. The rooftop bars typically open in the late afternoon and remain operational past midnight. They serve cocktails, local wines, and Andalusian tapas. Some are situated in boutique hotels in the Santa Cruz neighborhood, while others occupy modern buildings along Avenida de la Constitución. The terraces offer views across the historic rooftops, the cathedral bell tower, and the Guadalquivir River in the distance.
