In Cartagena de Indias you will find the most charming rooftop bars! In the old city you will be able to watch the sun set into the sea, over the beautiful colonial roofs of its colorful houses and the majestic dome of the cathedral. It’s a magic scene totally worth seeing. Keep reading to discover our recommendations of the best rooftops in Cartagena.
LA BOTIKA ROOFTOP
At the Sofitel Santa Clara Legend Hotel in the old town, is located this amazing rooftop where you can enjoy one of the best sunsets in Cartagena with an excellent DJ. This place is very original because it used to be the nursery of the convent of the Clarisas nuns back in 1621. The staff is dressed as doctors and nurses and their cocktails are unique, you will see… This rooftop is one of our favorites.
MOVICH HOTEL ROOFTOP
In this rooftop you will have a great view of the old city, the sunset, the sea and the bay of Cartagena. The sunset here is amazing! The drinks are good and they have a great dj. The terrace is open to everyone, but the pool is only for inhouse guests.
TOWNHOUSE ROOFTOP
Overlooking the colonial architecture of the old town, this rooftop has beautiful views too. They have two pools and shady palm trees which make this place fresh and cozy. The bar is quite nice and the drinks are very good. Children are welcome.
ALQUÍMICO
This rooftop is different from the others in that there´s no view here. Not at all. It’s more like a patio but it is very cool. To get there you have to climb to the third floor of this unique bar, decorated with test tubes and potions on the walls. The rooftop is amazing! It has an awesome vibe and the best tropical Tiki cocktails. The music is very good and it has a very lively atmosphere. Despite the lack of view, it’s totally worth visiting!
51 SKYBAR
51 Sky Bar is located on the 51st floor of the Estelar Hotel in Bocagrande. From this rooftop you can see the future! Just kidding, but this is as high as it gets in Cartagena. Here you have a view of Castillogrande, Bocagrande an the bay of Cartagena. The bar is very modern and it has a completely different vibe than the ones in the old town. The service is not the best, the lady at the bar is not very nice, but we recommend you give it a shot if you like skyscrapers and limitless views of the city.
