Rooftop tour across Madrid’s Gran Via

Discover Madrid from the heights is amazing. You can enjoy your breakfast from the heights while you see the city rush below. You will feel as a king and admire the beautiful rooftops of Madrid:  small, scratched and full of parabolic antennas with no sign...some others are impressive and majestic reflecting power, finance and politics. The rooftop tour across Madrid’s Gran Via offers all these and much more.  

These rooftops were not popular some time ago, but now are the place to be in Madrid. They are usually full of people and you must book in advance your table if you want to have breakfast in some of them.

Vincci The Mint's Rooftop in Gran Vía, Madrid

The most popular rooftops in Madrid’s Gran Via are:

• Emperador Hotel: with a pool at the rooftop terrace.
• IBEROSTAR Las Letras Hotel: with a chill out area and a bar.
• Circulo de Bellas Artes: emblematic rooftop offering cultural activities.
• The Principal: rooftop terrace with a nice boardwalk.

Gran Via rooftops allow us to admire some of the most iconic buildings in Madrid. However, there are other rooftops in different areas of Madrid which are also worth a visit (like terraces at La Latina neighbourhood). Gran Via rooftops are unique and perfectly identified with the destination, making them popular tourist attractions.

Most of the rooftops are designed as leisure and restaurant areas. They usually have a bar, cafe or cocktail bar. For example, Vincci The Mint rooftop (the new hotel in Gran Via by Vincci Hotels)  with a New York style food truck where to have a snack or a refreshing drink.

If you are staying at any of Las Letras hotel rooms in Gran Via, you will know why the hotel rooftop is a popular meeting point in Madrid. It’s the perfect place where to have breakfast or go after work. This 1917 building is always lively and full of tourists, locals and onlookers from around the world.

You should visit all of them and make a short tour in the evening (when you can admire Madrid’s lights), enjoying a nice dinner with snacks and some drinks. You should check the events calendar if you want to join any party -specially in spring and summer-.
