It is a long stretch of steps.
One may not notice this if casually walking around this area.
We had this area on our list to see, but we didn't find it to be attractive.
It definitely felt like a huge walk up the stairs.
Not something we witness regularly in the city we are from.

take the walk to the Nicolas stairs, so you end up high, on the top of the stairs, so you can walk down. Nice for coffee and breakfast, but also on an evening. Plenty to see and different basr and restaurants.

We jumped off the Uber on Gouraud Street corner St Nicolas where stands L’Escalier de l’Art also named St Nicholas Stairs. It is the longest stairway in the Middle East where various exhibitions, festivals and open-air cinema screenings take place. St Nicholas Stairs leads to the sumptuous Sursock Museum, a symbol of Beirut’s renaissance. Find more pictures on my Instagram (kelledstyle) and more info on my blog ;-)

it seems a review need 100 words to be published, but we can be rather short about the st nicholas stairs. it's just a bunch of ugly concrete steps. but nice place for drinks on the left side.

The St. Nicolas Stairs is an interesting place to inspect as it is in the trendiest and coolest districts of Beirut…Achrafieh. There are two main streets in this district that I really enjoy walking along and the St. Nicolas Stairs connects one of these two streets.
While I was walking up these famous stairs I didn’t realize they were famous for another reason as they are noted to be: ‘the longest stairway in the entire Middle East’ because they contain 125 steps and are over 500 meters in length!
The building architecture in the Achrafieh District directly around the St. Nicolas Stairs is unique and a must see while touring Beirut! All-in-all I suggest that you walk up the St. Nicolas Stairs and simply take in the atmosphere and beauty of this very special area of Beirut.

keep an eye on those stairs - random exhibitions, screenings, film festivals and other artsy events take place there and they garner an alternative crowd, different than your usual big summer cultural festival crowds across lebanon. i've always been pleasantly surprised when passing by there!

St. Nicholas Stairs is an old place in Jemmayzeh. When I go there, I feel like I've taken a step back to my childhood.

As I had read it in a guide, I went there. Nothing but really usual steps connecting two streets. You cannot imagine what climbing those steps in hot weather means. Do yourself a favor and even do not think about it.
