1. Begin your 3-hour walking tour with a pickup from your hotel. As a prelude to the sights, hear a fascinating introduction to Beirut’s history from your guide. Learn how it was originally settled more than 5,000 years ago, and prospered as a Roman city-state from 15 BC. Discover how, with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the city became the capital of modern Lebanon, and has retained its liberal atmosphere despite long periods of near-destruction. Set out through the bustling downtown streets, and visit several top Beirut attractions and landmarks. Each sight comes with a story, so follow your guide and learn about the people and events that shaped them. Visit recently renovated Nejmeh Square, the heart of the modern city, and see famous central clock tower, constructed during WWI.Gaze at the impressive Martyr’s Statue in Martyr’s Square, a monument that honors the Lebanese nationalists murdered during the same war by the Ottomans, and see other monuments and sights that provide a window into Beirut’s past, culture and character. Next, visit the National Museum of Beirut, the home of vast collections of archaeological artifacts. Stroll around to view the highlights displayed in its galleries, such as prized Phoenician statues, Byzantine mosaics and Roman pieces, and gain a fascinating overview of the city’s and Lebanon’s wider history.

About Beirut

Beirut is Lebanon's capital on a Mediterranean headland, a Phoenician port city with Roman remains and mountains rising close behind.

Beirut juts into the Mediterranean on a rocky headland, with the snow-streaked peaks of Mount Lebanon rising behind. Founded by the Phoenicians, it became the Roman city of Berytus, famed for its school of law, and the remains of Roman baths lie in the city centre. The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, with its blue domes, and the nearby churches of St George show the mix of faiths.

Top-ranked sights in Beirut: Jeita Grotto, Our Lady of Lebanon (Notre Dame du Liban), Byblos (Jbeil).
