A warm culture explosion, food, people and music!
Con
Because of too many people living in Lagos, there are so many robbers who are mainly jobless youths.
In a nutshell
Lagos is a beautiful City, but you have to be very careful and smart !!!
Jan-ErikK Says: Lekki Conservation Area - a oasis of calm and fresh air in this megacity.A tropical rainforest in the outskirts of the city, you´ll see monkeys at least. Also a ladder up to a lookout platform in a tree.
If you happen to be in Lagos 1 st week in December

Jan-ErikK Says: Tafaba Balewa Square, is not a square but a huge venue, former race cource during the British rule, but also the place where independence was declared 1960. Now home to huge events like the yearly The Experience Lagos - the worlds largest gospel consert with last year 700000...
Lennyx Says: A highly energetic live performance by Femi Kuti, the son of the late FELA. You won't get any like this in Lagos. Also bearing in mind that this guy is a legend. He delivers interesting shows every Sunday night with his team of back up dancers, dancing to every beat. You can...

Ocean Basket Restaurant: I call it - Fast Seafood
Lennyx Says: Beautifully decorated with a cute view of the ocean from the balcony. Ocean basket restaurant's menu looks appetizing as indeed the real deal. It's strictly seafood, mostly served with rice or chips, and also a long sushi menu. The platter pictured below is my favorite...

Viceroy Restaurant: Best Indian Restaurant In Lagos..

Sandra's Bar: In the Hole in the Wall
dedan1975 Says: This spot like many of the places I've mentioned previously, might not be the appropriate venue for a first date. Then again, I would frown on taking women to clubs and bars anyway, but that's me. Sandra's bar is what we would call a juke/jook joint back home. A hole in the...
mpanizza Says: Very popular and fun place to hang, especially if you're staying on Ikoyi Island. They have live and DJ'd music and a fun upstairs "VIP" area. There's also an outdoor place with great music across the street. club gear
Jan-ErikK Says: Avoid if possible travelling in rush hours outside Lagos Island, i.e. morning and afternoons in VI (Vicoria Island) is a mare-ritt of "go-slow", be prepard to be stucked in the taxi for i hour on VI. Also be warned that if you take a taxi to a fancy mall like The Palms Mall...

Jan-ErikK Says: It´s safe to walk around busy and crowded Lagos Island during daytime, the western part market streets are extremely crowded so the risk of beeing robbed would be non-existent. But of cource be aware of pickpockets and leave bags and cameras back home. Lagos Island was some...
Be careful taking photos in Nigeria!
Jan-ErikK Says: People on the street feels offended it you take photos, they will get angry and shout at you. Even if you are just taking a general street view. I always tried to take photos with people far away. Once I went with a Nigerian friend to the market and took a photo at the...

Mention Lagos to those familiar with the city and you will likely get a wince in response. Few cities have a reputation quite as bad as Lagos, however I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Sure,...
