It's one of my favourite castles! It's an amazing contrast with the crusader building and the Roman ruins. There is also the remnant of a tram that went through the grounds. Highly recommend you don'… Full review by skyrfish

Hi there, I'm planning to visit Byblos Castle this Monday 25 March. But I just saw that's Annunciation day. Will the castle be open during this national holiday? I can't find an official website. Thanks! Anna
How long is the trip? When is the estimated return time? Thank you

The Castle is in the middle of the touristic ancient city of Byblos, locally known as Jbeil, by the sea. 5 minutes walk from the historic port which is lined with charming good restaurants. It is no more than 5 min by car from Edde Sands beach/hotel & Byblos Sud hotel & resort. 40 min to 1 hour from Beirut central district Or from Beirut international airport. Plan 1 to 2 hours walk within the castle, choose a clear day because most of it is unroofed and overlooking the Mediteranean. It is romantic & cultural, guides are available, most are multilingual and make the visit more enriching. My advise is make a day outing, stop for lunch before or after your visit. If you visit between the months of May to October then take the 5 minute drive to one of the beaches after lunch enjoy the afternoon & stay on to watch the amazing sunsets...
