Le Perchoir

Le Perchoir in Paris is next on our list. Although unmarked on the street, the bar is hugely popular thanks to its huge rooftop with 360-degree views of the French capital.

The menu is packed with cocktails, imported beer and of course wine, alongside colourful tapas to nibble on as you enjoy golden hour and beyond.

Chill Skybar
Ho Chi Minh City
Rounding off our top five is the Chill Skybar in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Adjacent to the New World Hotel, the bar is on the 26th floor, so offers a unique party platform above the city below.
The first and original skybar in Vietnam, Chill’s electric atmosphere makes it the place to be whatever the time of day. But it’s as the sun sets that the bar really comes alive; smoke grenades and a kaleidoscope of lights set the stage for a night you’ll not forget.
