Indulás előtt
A repülőtérről

Közlekedés a városban
Central neighborhoods like Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael, Hamra, and Downtown are very walkable and best explored on foot. Distances between these districts may require a short taxi ride.
Helyi tippek
- Carry cash (USD and LBP). Lebanon's economy is heavily cash-based, and while cards are accepted in some places, USD is widely preferred and often gives a better rate.
- Download the 'Bolt' or 'Careem' app for taxis. Negotiate the fare before getting in a regular taxi, or use these ride-hailing apps for fixed, fair prices.
- Tipping ('baksheesh') is customary. Round up taxi fares, leave 10% in restaurants if service isn't included, and tip small change to porters and bathroom attendants.
