Beirut is a city with a multi-layered history and rich atmosphere, where ancient civilizations, Ottoman and European heritage and modern life intertwine. The capital of Lebanon preserves traces of the Roman, Byzantine and Arab past, experienced dramatic changes of the XX century and today welcomes guests with hospitality, lively culture and vibrant urban scene. Walking in the center gives the feeling of both a historical and quite modern city by the sea.
Man-made sights of Beirut are diverse and impressive in their scale: Beirut’s Archaeological Park reveals centuries of open-air history, the Mosque of Muhammad Al-Amin and the Al-Omari Mosque are astounding in scale and architecture, and the Parliament Building on Etohal Square and the Grand Palace (Grand Seral) demonstrate the political and administrative importance of the center. The Clock Tower, Star Square and the Martyrs Monument are symbols of the city’s memory, and the Musa Castle and Museum bring a touch of romance and unusual style to the list of places worth seeing.
Natural corners and coastal attractions complement the urban landscape: the picturesque Pigeon Rocks at the Rausha and Corniche waterfronts create iconic views for photo walks, and the beaches of Rafik Hariri are a rare opportunity to swim on the public sandy beaches of the capital. In the vicinity, you can see hills with historic palaces, including the Beyteddin Palace near Deir el Qamar, and quiet rivers and coastal embankments invite you to leisurely walks and watch sunsets over the Mediterranean Sea.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map: each point is provided with a brief description and useful information to quickly navigate and choose what to see first. The service allows you to mark interesting places, read historical references and build optimal routes around the city, combining man-made and natural objects for a rich walk.
