Lagos is one of the fastest growing cities in Africa. With plenty of markets to explore, like the well-known Balogun, you'll find everything from textiles to exotic spices.
For catching spectacular views, head to the Lekki Conservation Centre and take a walk on the longest canopy walkway in Africa or relax on sun-soaked beaches, where people love to gather.
This city also has a love for music, with Afrobeat filling the warm air.
Relish in local dishes like Pounded Yam and Egusi Soup, and feel the warm hospitality of the locals.
