Pirates, is there anything better than sipping a cocktail with a cracking view? Whether youβre on holiday or just winding down after work, rooftop bars offer a little slice of luxury. We've done the hard work (you're welcome) and rounded up some of the best rooftop bars in the world, sorted by continent.

Letβs start with a classic: The Rooftop at Serras in Barcelona, Spain. Itβs perched on the 6th floor of Hotel Serras with views of the marina and Mediterranean. Expect top-notch Spanish food, quality cocktails and proper good service. Itβs not cheap (around Β£20 for a bottle of wine), but itβs one of the best for a reason.
