Batroun is THE spot if you’re chasing epic Mediterranean sunsets and charming village vibes 🌅🧡 The Lebanese Diaspora Village here seriously delivers on both, making it a must-stop for anyone visiting Lebanon’s northern coast.

Must-See Place in Batroun:
Lebanese Diaspora Village – Batroun  
Address: 7M44+5WG 1400, Batroun, Lebanon  
Opening hours: Usually open till sunset (go late afternoon for the magic hour!)

Why hit this spot? It’s not just a pretty place—the village is packed with cool stories about Lebanese emigrants and local culture. Stroll the stone lanes, dip into cute artisan shops, then post up for the best sunset view you’ll get in Lebanon. That golden hour glow here is next level—trust me, you don’t want to miss it!

Local Tip: Aim to arrive about an hour before sunset so you can explore the village and claim a spot with the clearest view out over the Mediterranean. Bring a camera and something comfy to sit on.

Getting around Batroun:  
Walk everywhere! The town is safe and best experienced on foot. If you’re coming from Beirut, grab a bus or shared taxi heading north—the ride’s an easy 1-2 hours along the coast.

Food Alert:  
Don’t skip Batroun’s legendary lemonades (try Hilmi’s on the main drag) and hit up a waterfront seafood spot after sunset—ask locals for their current favorite!

Destination tips:  
No visa needed for most travelers (check if you’re unsure), cash is king, and summer months (May–September) mean perfect sunset weather.
