Círculo de Bellas Artes

Four euros will gain you entry to one of Madrid’s most impressive rooftops, the Azotea del Círculo de Bellas Artes (Bellas Artes Rooftop), a sizeable space at the top of the Bellas Artes cultural centre. The panoramic views are incredible; look out for Madrid‘s business district skyscrapers, the Prado Museum, Retiro Park and the iconic view of the Metropolis Building on Gran Vía. The rooftop has two bars, a restaurant and comfy bed-like seats, where you can recline with a cocktail. It can get very busy, so head there in the early afternoon to beat the crowds.
