Destination
Lebanon.
Beirut between history, mezze and a lively bar scene.
Beirut has a reputation, then surprises you as a lively, warm-hearted and culinarily magnificent city. Between history, the Corniche, mezze and one of the best bar scenes in the region, the leap is worth it. My guides cover entry, flights and the best neighbourhoods, sights and day trips, plus my favourite restaurants, cafés and bars.
