4 rooftop bars in Vienna our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Vienna nightlife.

Sky Bar at Steffl ★ 4.2

€€€Innere Stadt

Sky at Steffl runs on the seventh floor of the Steffl department store on Kärntner Strasse, reached by a glass panoramic lift that opens straight onto a wraparound terrace over Stephansdom, the rooftops and the Inner City.

TipWalk-in Friday and Saturday 17:00-01:00 without reservation. Sunset arrival on a clear day is the calmer way in.

Der Dachboden ★ 4.4

€€Neubau

Der Dachboden sits on the eighth floor of the 25hours Hotel above the MuseumsQuartier, with a long timber deck looking across the Hofburg, the Burgtheater and the Volkstheater rooftops, and a list of well-priced local cocktails.

TipLift access from the hotel lobby on Lerchenfelder Strasse. Sunset queues build from 19:00; weeknight afternoons are calm.

Das Loft ★ 4.5

€€€€Leopoldstadt

Das Loft runs on the 18th floor of the SO Vienna hotel on the Donaukanal across from the Urania, with a Jorrit Tornquist multicoloured glass ceiling and a 360 view that takes in the Stephansdom spires, the canal and the Prater.

TipNo reservation needed at the bar; tables fill on Friday and Saturday. The rooftop is glass-enclosed, so winter visits still work.

Atmosphere Rooftop Bar ★ 4.3

€€€€Innere Stadt

Atmosphere sits on the eighth floor of the Ritz-Carlton on the Ringstrasse, opening seasonally from mid-April with a California Soul concept, sundowner cocktails and a view across the Stadtpark to the Belvedere.

TipOpen weather permitting from mid-April to late summer; reservations recommended for the prime terrace seats on warm evenings.
