Given all our hard work, we definitely deserve to take a break and have a relaxing Sunday. Here are a few ideas:<\/big>


1. Get away, unplug, and enjoy. <\/b><\/big><\/big>



If you\u2019re willing to dish out some cash for your relaxing weekend, a getaway trip can be a great idea! If you gather a couple of friends and split the room cost, it won\u2019t be that expensive and you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a calm weekend. Check into one of the countless Bed and Breakfasts or a boutique hotel in the outskirts of Beirut and plan an itinerary that avoids the hustle and bustle. You can also plan free things to do!

You can check out this article<\/a> for specific ideas and plans.<\/big>


2. Chill in green spaces. <\/b><\/big><\/big>



One of the best ways to disconnect and to recharge is for you to spend some time in open green spaces. Though they are limited in Lebanon, they do<\/i> exist. You can head to Horsh Beirut<\/a>, Lebanon\u2019s largest park, and have a picnic, read a book, meditate, or just chill!

3. Spend a low-key day at the beach. <\/b><\/big><\/big>



The trick to having a RELAXING beach experience is making sure it\u2019s not a horribly expensive one. You can check out this list of The Best Cheap (And Free) Beaches In Lebanon<\/a>.

Staying until sunset is always the best way to end your beach day, watching something breathtakingly beautiful with the people you love. <\/big>


4. Hit up a Jazz bar. <\/b><\/big><\/big>



Listen to some live tunes, enjoy a calm dinner, and try something new!

5. Hit up a market.<\/b><\/big><\/big>

6. Netflix all day and all night<\/b><\/big><\/big>
