Why this rooftop stands out

Location: ICON Bar & Rooftop sits atop the Hyatt Regency in the Alcântara / Belém zone of Lisbon, giving it panoramic views over the Tagus River and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge.
Atmosphere: The venue describes itself as a space “where sophistication and relaxation come together” — a cosmopolitan yet comfortable scene for winding down as the sun goes down.
Sunset timing: Since the rooftop overlooks the river and bridge, you’ll get golden-hour light and a lovely maritime backdrop for your drinks.
Dress code & policies: Smart-casual is required (no flip-flops or beachwear) and there’s a minimum spend (~€30 per person for two hours) posted on the site.

What to expect

The view: Expect sweeping vistas of the river, bridge and the Lisbon skyline, especially as the sun begins to set. The open terrace gives you plenty of vantage points.
Cocktails & snacks: The menu features signature cocktails like “Summer Old Fashion”, “Sunshine Bowl”, “Spring Fever Daiquiri”. They also list snacks to accompany drinks.
Time and hours: The rooftop opens at 15:00 on Mondays and Tuesdays; on Wednesday through Saturday it opens earlier around 13:30 and stays open late (until 01:00).
Ambience: As evening sets in, expect the vibe to shift from relaxed lounge to more elevated social hour, especially on their special evenings with live DJ/sax.
Location note: The venue is at Rua da Junqueira, 65, 1300-343 Lisbon.

Tips for making the most of your visit

Arrive a little early: To grab a good spot with the view, aim for just before golden hour. That way you get the daylight, sunset, and the after-glow.
Check the weather: Riverfront weather can affect how enjoyable the rooftop is (wind, clouds). For a picture-perfect sundowner, pick a clear evening.
Dress smart-casual: As they require Smart Casual and disallow flip-flops/beachwear, plan accordingly.
Plan your drink/snack budget: With minimum spend per person (≈ €30 for two hours) you’ll want to factor that into your night.
Thursday “Yellow Hour” is special: If your schedule allows, visiting on Thursday means live DJ & sax, cocktails plus champagne pairing.
Transport & timing: Alcântara/Belém is slightly outside the historic central district. Consider how you’ll get back (taxi/ride-share or public transport) if staying late.
Photography & views: Bring your camera or phone — the view of the bridge and river at sunset is very photogenic.
Reserve ahead: While some walk-ins may be possible, for prime time (sunset) it’s wise to reserve or arrive early to secure a good table.
