Located in Parc Du Beyrouth, just north of al-Dahiye, is the impressive hippodrome. Built in 1923, international horse races are organized there since 1944. In 1982, the venue was completely destructed during the conflict with Israel, only to be reopened in 1991.

On Saturdays or Sundays, races are organized there which can be attended as desired. For more information, check www.beiruthorseracing.com.

For those who love wine and culture, each year in October, a highly entertaining 4-day wine festival is organized at the Hippodrome with all kinds of wine tasting activities, food stands and music entertainment. For more information, see www.vinifestlebanon.com.
