​​Welcome to Beirut
"Fast-paced and fashion-conscious"

Welcome to Beirut, the dazzling jewel of the Mediterranean, where ancient history meets contemporary vitality, and where every street corner tells a story waiting for you to uncover. Nestled on the shores of the azure Mediterranean Sea, this vibrant city extends a warm and inviting embrace to all who step onto its bustling streets. Begin your journey by immersing yourself in the rich tapestry of history that blankets Beirut. Explore the ancient Roman ruins of Baalbek, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where colossal temples pay homage to a bygone era. Stroll through the archaeological wonders of the Roman Baths, feeling the echoes of centuries past beneath your feet. As you meander through the bustling streets of Beirut, the scent of traditional Lebanese cuisine will beckon you. Savor mouthwatering dishes like shawarma, falafel, and meze, all while sipping on aromatic Lebanese coffee or sampling wines from the fertile vineyards of the Bekaa Valley. For the culture enthusiast, Beirut offers a vibrant arts and music scene. Visit the Sursock Museum, a cultural hub housing a treasure trove of contemporary art, or catch live performances and concerts in Mar Mikhael, the city's hipster district. Beirut's beaches are a tranquil escape from the urban buzz. Spend sun-soaked days lounging on sandy shores, or dive into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim. The Corniche, a picturesque seaside promenade, invites you to take leisurely walks with stunning sea views. At night, Beirut transforms into a cosmopolitan playground. Join the locals in lively pubs, chic rooftop bars, and trendy nightclubs. The city's nightlife pulses to the rhythm of music, laughter, and the warm Lebanese spirit. Venture into Beirut's charming neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality. From the vibrant energy of Hamra to the historical allure of Gemmayzeh, every corner offers unique experiences, from hidden art galleries to quaint bookshops. Beirut is a gateway to Lebanon's natural wonders. Take a day trip to the picturesque towns of Byblos or Harissa, where you'll find ancient ruins and breathtaking vistas. For outdoor enthusiasts, the scenic trails of the Lebanese mountains await, promising adventure and breathtaking views. In Beirut, old-world charm mingles with modern vibrancy, creating an intoxicating blend of history, culture, and hospitality. It's a city where you'll uncover surprises at every turn, where the past dances with the present, and where your senses will be awakened in ways you never imagined. So, pack your bags, embrace the allure, and let Beirut's captivating spirit and endless discoveries captivate your heart. Your Lebanese odyssey begins here, in the radiant heart of this remarkable city.

It was a really close battle for the gold between Andorra and Australia with the latter coming strong towards the end securing Australia its 6th victory. Andorra settled into second place while Denmark took the bronze medal. Ghana - with their best result to date - and Switzerland rounded out the top 5.

Australia debuted back in GM/04 with Delta Goodrem getting a mediocre result, but the first top 10 result was already obtained on their second participation in GM/06. In the early days their participations was, however, infrequent, and it wasn't until GM/23 that Australia became a regular contestant. The first triumph came in GM/24 when Delta Goodrem was sent for a second time. This was, however, not Delta's first victory, as she had already won the contest for Ireland in GM/13. Australia now entered a strong period with another four medals and several top 10s before gold shone upon them again in GM/50, when Guy Sebastian and Jordin Sparks lifted the trophy. After a downturn in the results, Australia hit it big again in GM/84 with Samantha Jade, and has since won another 3 gold medals for Delta Goodrem in GM/91, Dami Im in GM/106 and now once again Delta! The Queen of GM now has 4 gold medals to her name! Yuly has been the HoD for Australia since GM/91 and has thus now finished on top 3 times! Well done Australia, Delta and Yuly!
