Beirut
Beirut’s museums and creative life offer a way to get to know Lebanon. Start with the art, neighbourhoods and heritage that interest you, and we’ll plan the days around them.
- Art
- Urban heritage
- Cultural context
Your starting point
Start with your interests, then set the dates
Start with the collections, neighbourhood history or cultural interests you want to explore. Share them with us, and we’ll build the accommodation, flights and any excursions around them.
Suggested lengths are starting points for a conversation. Your final route depends on your dates, interests and availability.
Sursock Museum: follow the collection programme
Sursock Museum publishes exhibitions and events that offer a view into modern and contemporary artistic practice. Its programme is a good way to get to know Beirut before you arrive, and we match your visit to the exhibitions showing during your dates. [1]
A museum visit in Ashrafieh
The museum’s visitor page locates it in Ashrafieh, close to the Saint Nicolas stairs and Gemmayzeh. We arrange the approach and access with the venue and a local provider, and plan how much of the nearby streets to see on foot. [2]
Beirut first, then wider Lebanon if you wish
An interest in Beirut does not require a long list of excursions across Lebanon. Tell us which experiences matter, and we’ll plan any day beyond the city as its own stage, using the roads, stops and services running for your dates.
When to go
Plan your dates around the cultural programme
Tell us when you would like to travel and the exhibitions or events you hope to see, and we’ll match your days in Beirut to Sursock Museum’s calendar. [1]
Getting around
Airport, hotel and local travel in one plan
We arrange your flights, the airport transfer, the area you stay in and local travel as one plan, and add any onward journey as its own stage.
Follow your curiosity

A little clarity before you go
Questions before you plan
Can Trip Stories arrange a trip to Beirut?
Yes. Tell us the art, neighbourhoods and heritage you want to see, with your dates, and we’ll plan the museum time, where you stay, transfers and any days beyond the city.
Can we use an exhibition announcement to choose travel dates?
Yes, it is a good place to start. Tell us which exhibition caught your eye, and we’ll match your dates to the museum’s current programme when we plan your trip. [1]
