Best Rooftop Bars to End Your Ballooning Day
Your hot air balloon flight over Melbourne begins with sunrise — quiet, calm, and filled with wonder.
So why not finish your day with another view from above — this time with the golden light of sunset, good company, and a drink in hand?
Melbourne is famous for its rooftop bars, each offering skyline views that feel like a perfect bookend to your morning in the clouds.
Here are some of the best spots to toast the day you’ll never forget.
