Three days extends the 2-day core , the Corniche, downtown, the National Museum, a Gemmayzeh dinner, with one day trip to Byblos, all still deliberately leaving out Baalbek, the Bekaa, and the south under 2026’s advisory zones. Treat this as what a long weekend looks like once your government’s current advisory eases, not a plan to book against it. Longer versions continue at 4 , 5 , and 7 days .

Two days covers central Beirut only: the Corniche, downtown, the National Museum, and a Gemmayzeh dinner, deliberately leaving out Baalbek, the Bekaa, and the south given 2026’s advisory zones. This is not a go-now plan, it’s what these two days look like once your own government’s current advisory eases enough to justify the trip. The same route extends to 3 , 4 , and 7 days , or see the full Beirut guide first.

Beirut carries the US State Department’s Level 4, Do Not Travel, rating in 2026, reaffirmed after non-emergency government staff and their families were ordered out on 23 February. The UK FCDO advises against all travel to the southern suburbs, the south, the Bekaa and Baalbek, and Lebanon’s north, and against all but essential travel across the rest of Beirut and Mount Lebanon. A 2024 war with Israel ended in a November ceasefire, then reopened in March 2026, and a full resolution remains unsettled as of mid-July.

Four days extends the 3-day plan , the Corniche, downtown, the National Museum, Gemmayzeh, and Byblos, adding Jeita Grotto and Harissa’s hilltop shrine, still leaving out Baalbek, the Bekaa, and the south under 2026’s advisory zones. This is a conditional plan, worth having ready for whenever the advisory eases, not a schedule to book against it today. See 5 , 6 , and 7 days for longer versions.

A full week extends the 6-day plan , the Corniche, downtown, the National Museum, Gemmayzeh, Byblos, Jeita Grotto, Harissa, the Chouf, and a Hamra day, closing with Achrafieh’s galleries and a final Corniche sunset, all still leaving out Baalbek, the Bekaa, and the south under 2026’s advisory zones.
