beautiful city, amazing people and culture, the best food, super fun nightlife, stunning nature ranging from snowy mountains over pretty beaches to hystorical towns. men still suck and I wouldnt recommend walking alone at night, generally I did feel safe though (or as safe as a woman can feel in any big city).

I have been in Beirut for two weeks and it is an amazing time. This city is full of energy, with lots of things to do, bars, clubs, parties, shops and restaurants. People here are very kind. I felt very safe.

I went to Beirut alone in October of last year and felt safe the entire time. Beirut is a very diverse, lively city with old neighborhoods, but also with a huge amount of new investments and a myriad of great bars and restaurants that are opening there. Beirut was my base, from where I made day trips to Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre on local buses. I loved it and definitely want to go there again.

It's safe to walk around everyone is friendly and nice, there are just certain tiny streets tiny alleys you'd want to be careful, especially at night and especially near pubs and clubs. But that's everywhere really. It's safe but always be on the look out for the just in case
Posted: August 2, 2025Well, Beirut overall is very safe depending on the area you want to visit. But usually the touristy places are very safe, I've never felt scared or worried there. I'm born and raised in Beirut, and it is a beautiful city to visit.
Posted: July 17, 2025It is safe to walk alone during the day as a woman. There will be some men staring at you on the streets for sure, just like in any other country. I walk in Hamra streets every day and I never got assaulted by a man, it's just their staring that makes me very uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend for women to walk alone in the dark. Buses are safe. But always stay alert my ladies, nowhere is 100% safe for us.
Posted: May 30, 2025Not safe at all I don't really feel safe walking in the streets of Beirut even if I'm not alone or even if have a knife on me or anything else I fell like when I go to Beirut I Wana get a bodyguard to protect me !

About me
Heyy :) My name is Levke and am so happy to start my first TravelLadies adventures here! I am a northern German soul who moved to Eastern Germany, beautiful Erfurt, for my studies. I am a super political and social person. I appreciate honest and caring communication and open-minded encounters. I study Human Rights in Beirut now, so I don’t travel around that much anymore cause I am on a budget lol and don’t go back to Europe in that time. Always down for a walk, coffee, beer, reading or cooking session or a protest or community gathering :D I am a queer feminist and engage in human rights and environmental activism. My diet is vegetarian / mostly vegan and I love to try new dishes :)) Besides politics, I simply love to engage in a good chat!
