  Hanging out in Beirut
Hanging out in Beirut
By Élodie Morel Lebbos, Agnès Matha, Olga Haddad, September 08, 2008
 

Strolling through the streets of the Lebanese capital is a great pleasure that all lovers and occasional visitors of Beirut should enjoy. Some people say that one goes round in a car and faces huge traffic jams, and that rutted or inexistent sidewalks don’t allow wandering in tranquility, is that true? Well yes, a little bit. This report includes everything Beirut can offer to its wanderers, and strolling amateurs will find some itineraries to walk through the city and discover unsuspected corners; they will get some ideas about some museums they should visit; they will also have pretexts to sit on the terrace of a Beiruti café, which is one of the simplest and greatest pleasures in this city: if “Les 2 magots” of Saint Germain des Prés (the Parisian café of André Gide, Picasso, Prévert, Simone de Beauvoir and many other artists and philosophers) is known everywhere in the world, it would be so wrong to underestimate the aura of some Beiruti cafés. Once the wanderers finish eating, they can visit many museums in this capital…Enjoy your strolls…
