Ancient Byblos, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, offers a fascinating journey through history. Easily accessible by car from Beirut, the archaeological park involves walking over uneven terrain, making comfortable shoes essential, and accessibility for those with mobility challenges may be limited. While self-guided exploration is possible with on-site information, a guided tour is highly recommended to fully appreciate the complex history of its Phoenician, Roman, and Crusader ruins. The site is open year-round, though spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather, avoiding the peak summer heat. Expect an entrance fee of a few USD, and plan for a visit duration of 2-3 hours to explore the extensive ruins and the nearby Crusader Castle. Combining your visit with the charming Byblos Old Souk and port is highly recommended.
