Sky Bar at Grand Hotel Central

Many of Barcelona's rooftops offer a rather restricted view of the city's major sights. The terrace at the top of the Grand Hotel Central is a sure way to avoid disappointment: with its seemingly endless pool and impressive views of almost the whole city, it's no surprise that this terrace doesn't stay empty for long. The limited public access (from 8 pm) adds to the popularity of the venue. They have started to take reservations, and it's worth booking ahead especially as prices here are relatively cheap... in rooftop terms.
