Seven Rooftop Cocktail Bar

Seven Restaurant’s cocktail bar is where you want to be at sunset. (Make a reservation in advance, because so does everyone else.) Located on the top floor of the Hotel Ambasciatori on Palermo’s main avenue between the train station and Quattro Canti, this series of rooftop terraces has one of the most beautiful panoramic views in town. 

Show off by pointing out the famous city sites to your date, even if you have to use the restaurant’s easy online map linked with the menu. Cocktails run you about €10-15, which are higher than you’ll find in other parts of town, but you’re buying the view—and of course, the photos you’ll take from the rooftop.
