Sunsets hit harder from a rooftop.
It’s just one of those simple truths this time of year. You know, those liberating weeks between spring and summer when the sky blots into magical magentas. Sometimes brisk and always beautiful, the toughest choice you’ll have to make is whether to pack a sweater.
From sweeping skyline views atop a massive innovation hub in South Philly (Bar Bok) and Miami vibes in Center City (El Techo), to suburban luxury atop a Parisian-style terrace by the Schuylkill River (Alondra), this is where to go all the way up for the best views and sunset vibes in and around Philadelphia.
