Beirut - quelle surprise?

14 votes

Quirky, atmospheric, beautiful, ugly, friendly, all sorts of things. It was a pleasure to be there. Very different to how I had imagined it would be. The traffic is MAD!

Favourite spots:
The Corniche in the evening. The transport park at Cola. all of it.

What's really great:
the stranger who drove me around town on my first visit. When we got to my destination I went to pay him. He smiled and said oh no I am not a taxi, you are a visitor who needed a lift

Accommodations:
Hotel Mayflower - functional and friendly

Other recommendations:
Baklava!
