Winning tip: Skajo, Freiburg, Germany
I had a couple of hours to spend in Freiburg while Free JavHD my bike was being repaired, but no energy left to sightsee. The guy at the cycle shop suggested I visit Skajo rooftop bar, in the old centre of Freiburg. Skajo provided a cooling breeze, cold beer and a delicious charcuterie platter. All-round views saved my legs while giving me a snapshot of this lively city, from a close-up of the magnificent cathedral, right out to the surrounding green hills and the beginnings of the Black Forest. Scents from the flower market drifted up, mingling with the strains of buskers in cathedral square. Bliss!

This is the top level of a car park in Bairro Alto that has been turned into a garden terrace. Park is not the easiest place to find and you do wonder if you are in the right place as you’re walking through an eerily quiet multistorey car park covered in graffiti, but the views over the city and the River Tagus are totally worth it. The terrace is covered in plants so you HD Porn feel cut off from the hustle and bustle below. We visited in the evening and an impromptu dance-off between break dancers provided some lively entertainment. Excellent selection of beers and good simple food.

In south-east London the opening of Frank’s Cafe is the official sign that summer is here. Go for the novelty (the bar is on the top floor of a car park behind Peckham High Street and features contemporary sculptures) and stay for the epic urban sunset views. Arrive after 5pm and you’ll be surrounded by locals getting their post-work fresh air fix. If the weather turns a bit British don’t panic – there are plenty of restaurants on lower levels and you can retreat to the Peckhamplex below for bargain £5 cinema tickets. Peckham Rye station (on the Overground and Thameslink) is almost opposite.
