Rooftop tips
Rooftop pools are usually open from around May to October, and many are small plunge pools rather than full-size pools, perfect for cooling off. Rooftop bars often open to non-residents in the evening and get busy at sunset, so hotel guests do well to go early. For the best views of the Sagrada Família, look at hotels in Eixample.
