From here you might want to head across to Tartan Roof. This one is to be found above Circulo de Bellas Artes, an art center in the heart of the city. It offers you a completely different view of the city that few restaurants in Madrid can match.
Casa Suecia
Next, we are going to move on to the terrace at Casa Suecia which is situated on the rooftop of the NH Collection Suecia Hotel. It has been open for a few years now, and it has earned a reputation for being one of the best terraces to enjoy on warm Madrid summer nights.
