12 Things To Do In Beirut That Will Make You Smile
The beautiful city of Beirut is filled with wonderful experiences that will make you smile, and we wanted to share some with you.
1. Try to capture as many photos of the colorful buildings in the heart of Beirut as possible
There are so many pastel-colored buildings scattered across the city that are bound to make you smile ear to ear.
2. Understand the hype over Uncle Fluffy in ABC Verdun
If the cheesecake doesn’t make you smile, our Reel sure will!
3. Make new friends at Ôtrottoir in Achrafieh
The vibes at this new Lebanese bistro are immaculate. Be a social butterfly and meet the amazing people at Ôtrottoir!
4. Try the Zaatar ice cream at Booza Society in Hamra
Ice cream making is a science, and the owner loves experimenting with flavors.
5. Treat your friend to this crunchy rainbow dream from Bakerloo
We can confirm that it does indeed taste as good as it looks. How can you not smile after eating a donut as cheerful as this?
6. Share a Taouk sandwich from Malak Al Taouk with one (or twelve) of the Bliss cats
Only do this if you’re a cat lover, otherwise you won’t appreciate getting beat up for your lunch.
7. Watch a taxi driver in Mar Elias nearly run over someone and use every cuss word known to man
Mar Elias taxi drivers are known for two things: risky driving and hilarious over-the-top reactions.
8. Snap a few shots at the pinkest spot in Gemmayze
You’ll get a sugar rush just walking into Candyfornia.
9. Set up a photo scavenger hunt with your friends in Beirut
Challenge your friends with a list of memorable spots from all over Beirut, like the iconic Fayrouz graffiti or colorful cars in Gemmayze.
10. Stay for the happy hour drinks at Pazzi
And a slice of their delicious pizza.
11. Fall in love with the wine bar at Dry in Monot
The newly opened spot serves generous portions of French-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
12. Chat up your furry friend over a few drinks at Neighbors
Drinking alone? No. Drinking with your dog? Hell yes.
(Please don’t give your dog alcohol)
