Things to do in Beirut

Beirut combines Mediterranean waterfront, museums and distinct neighbourhoods. Opening hours and access change — verify before you go. Pair this page with Travel Advice and Getting Around.

Museums and culture

The National Museum of Beirut, Sursock Museum, Mim Museum and other cultural venues offer deeper context. Confirm hours and tickets on each museum’s official site. See Museums & Culture for a structured overview.

Food and evenings

Lebanese mezze, manakish, seafood and sweets are part of everyday culture. This site lists food categories rather than unverified “top restaurant” rankings in the first version. Nightlife areas such as Mar Mikhael and Gemmayzeh can be busy — plan transport home and respect local rules.
