Essential Insider Tips for Enjoying Rooftop Experiences

Arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to secure the best seats for a breathtaking view.
Most rooftops feature happy hours, often referred to as “golden hour,” running typically from 6 pm to 8 pm—ask about special “sunset flights.”
Due to popularity, many rooftop venues require reservations for weekends—consider booking through OpenTable or directly via WhatsApp.
Dress code is usually casual-elegant: while beachwear is discouraged, sandals are generally acceptable in most venues.
Bring a light sweater, as high-desert evenings can drop to around 60 °F (15 °C), making it chilly after sunset.
