Is Tripoli safe enough to visit as a tourist? In my opinion, YES. Still you might want to check with locals before visiting. Not to be confused with Tripoli - the capital of Libya, Tripoli or Trablous (the arabic name of the city) is Lebanon's second largest city after Beirut and the capital of the North Governorate. The city overlooks the eastern Mediterranean Sea and there is a string of uninhabited islands just off the coast of Tripoli. These are particularly nice to visit in the summer time, I was told. I stayed at Lamunia Wellness and Spa, a small boutique hotel in Al Qalamun where quite a few hotels are located. It is just a 10 minutes drive from the Al Mina neighbourhood and downtown Tripoli.
The citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles is located on a hilltop overlooking the city. The citadel of Tripoli was built by Raymon De Saint-Gilles, governor of Tripoli, in 1103 on the emplacement of the castle of Saint-Gilles.When the Mont Pèlerin quarter was set ablaze by the Mamluks in 1289, the castle of Saint-Gilles suffered from the holocaust and stood abandoned on the hilltop for the next eighteen years.
If you are visiting Tripoli, you should definitely plan a visit to Abdul Rahman Hallab & Sons in the city center. It is a luxurious pastry shop and restaurant, established in 1881 and famous for its oriental confectionaries.
