Exploring the Majestic Colonnaded Street of Beirut

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're starting from the Beirut Souks, exit the Souks and head towards the main road, Rue de la Liberté. Walk straight down Rue de la Liberté for about 10 minutes until you reach the intersection with the busy Rue Weygand. You will see the iconic Al-Amin Mosque on your right as a landmark. Turn right onto Rue Weygand and continue walking for about 5 minutes. Colonnaded Street will be on your right side, near the Archaeological Museum of Beirut. Look for the distinctive colonnades and pillars that line the street.

• Public Transport

  From Martyrs' Square, take a local bus or shared taxi heading towards Hamra. Inform the driver you want to go to the Archaeological Museum. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Once you get off, walk along Rue Weygand for about 2 minutes until you find Colonnaded Street on your left, near the museum entrance.

• Walking

  If you are near the Corniche, start at the waterfront and walk towards the city center. Head towards the National Museum of Beirut, which will take around 20 minutes on foot. Once you reach the museum, walk towards Rue Weygand, and Colonnaded Street will be just a short walk away to your left.

• Metro/Walking

  Catch a Metro from the nearest station to your location heading towards the Beirut Central District. Disembark at the 'Bank of Lebanon' station. From there, it’s about a 10-minute walk. Head towards the National Museum of Beirut along Rue de la Liberté, then turn right onto Rue Weygand, and Colonnaded Street will be on your right.
