Beirut was ranked by travelers to be among the top cities in the world on Travel & Leisure for 2016. Just last month, we covered how Beirut was ranked first place for the “Best International City for Food” in 2016.
This is part of the World’s Best Awards and is put together following a collection of experiences, opinions and surveys from the websites’ readers – which average around 6 million a month.
They then use the results to produce a top list of cities, islands, cruise lines, airlines, food and much more.
Readers rated cities for several qualities, history, culture, exciting cuisine, modernity, antiquity, and everything in between. Beirut was highlighted by the site featuring a comment by Travel and Leisure reader Maya Elchebeir:

Hoy nuestra imaginación no nos lleva muy lejos. Nos lleva a Barcelona, la ciudad donde vivimos. Concretamente, al barrio Gótico, tal como podéis ver por la Catedral de Barcelona que sale al fondo❤️ Porque ahora mismo, lo que más nos gustaría sería pasear por sus calles, llegar hasta la playa y comer de tapeo con nuestros amig@s. ¿Dónde os lleva vuestra imaginación hoy? ¡Compártelo en comentarios!??? . ? Nos preguntáis mucho cómo retocamos las fotos, y siempre lo hacemos con nuestros propios presets para lightroom. Puedes conseguirlos aquí: @deunladoparaotropresets. ::: ??
