Rano
National Museum of Beirut
Przed południem
Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque
Okolica: Downtown.
Jedzenie
Traditional Mezze
Go with a group to sample as many dishes as possible. Don't fill up on bread—pace yourself for the 20+ plates that may arrive.

Po południu
Corniche Beirut

Dzień 2: Pigeon Rocks at Raouché i Gemmayzeh & Mar Mikhael
Rano
Pigeon Rocks at Raouché
Jedzenie
Street Food & Bakeries
Try 'kaak' from a street vendor for breakfast—it's a sesame bread ring often filled with cheese or za'atar, perfect for eating on the go.
Dokąd iść: Barbar (for manousheh and shawarma), Furn Al Sabaya (for kaak sesame bread rings), Semsom (for fresh falafel sandwiches)
Po południu
Gemmayzeh & Mar Mikhael
The epicenter of Beirut's hipster renaissance, these adjacent districts are a maze of narrow streets, Ottoman-era houses, and vibrant street art.
Wieczorem
Bourj Hammoud Flea Market
A sprawling, chaotic market district across the river from Achrafieh, known as Beirut's 'Little Armenia'.
Dzień 3: Byblos (wycieczka jednodniowa)
40 min by car/taxi north.
One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Byblos is a UNESCO site where Phoenician, Roman, Crusader, and Ottoman ruins sit beside a picturesque fishing harbor and souk.
Najważniejsze: Crusader Castle, Ancient Phoenician ruins, Old Souk for shopping, St. John the Baptist Church
Jeśli masz jeszcze jeden dzień: Baalbek
1.5-2 hours by car/taxi east. To już poza planem na 3 dni: lepiej poświęcić na to cały dzień, niż wciskać w jeden z nich.
Home to the most impressive Roman ruins in the Middle East, the colossal temples of Jupiter and Bacchus at Baalbek are a breathtaking testament to imperial Roman engineering and ambition.
Najważniejsze: Temple of Jupiter, Temple of Bacchus, The Stone of the Pregnant Woman, Nearby Temple of Venus
Przed wyjazdem
Z lotniska
Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) is 9km south of the city. A pre-booked private taxi costs $15-25. Official airport taxis charge $20-30. There is no direct train or reliable bus service; taxis are the standard option.
Poruszanie się po mieście
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.
Lokalne wskazówki
- 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.
