Located on the Mediterranean coast, Beirut is one of the oldest cities in the world, shaped by the Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks and Ottomans over the course of their 5,000-year history. For decades, the capital of Lebanon has been an international metropolis and an important cultural and geographical link between Europe and the Middle East.
Often labeled as resilient, Beirut has suffered numerous devastating events in its history, from a brutal 15-year civil war to one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. Today, the city boasts a skyline full of contrasts, with contemporary architecture coexisting with Ottoman, Roman and Byzantine ruins. Its architecture, along with its famous cuisine, outstanding nightlife, archaeological sites, and hospitable people, makes it a popular tourist destination.
