Nice place for families to spend and afternoon or an evening. Has plenty of fancy restaurants and is usually a classic attraction for tourists.

Sitting at Place de l'Etoile inone of the many cafes, have a coffee and shisha. Just sit, relax, and watch people. It is an amazing venue with a lot of charme. For me it was the best part of Beirut.

In middle of this is the clock tower, just a cross the street from the lower side of the Roman baths. Around the tower are restaurants. Good place to sit and people watch

I liked the wide selection of things to do there. There is something for everyone to do and so much is nearby. Once can spend a full day there and not have enough.

the streets leading to this little place are packed with restaurants, rather european style atmosphere, nice for a stroll and a coffee of fresh lemonade

When you hear about "Place de l'Etoile", you immediately think to Paris' one, with its very big buildings and the obelisk. In Beirut, the place is on average of the country itself, small but beautiful. You shouldn't miss it for any reason.

Surrounded by great restaurants and cafes (we tried all of them), this is a perfect place for lunch...

I visited in night-time and daytime and tried different restaurants. One, on a side street and offering regional cuisine, was very good if with the service appearing a bit tired. The other, offering French cuisine, was run-of-the-mill. This pedestrian area has a number of shops with a variety of goods, including a nice one for cigars. It is walking distance... More

Beautiful historic place in the down town area of Beirut...A must visit when you're in Lebanon...you will enjoy the old souks..have an ice cream...admire the old renovated part!
