Staying in Lagos

Lagos, Nigeria's former capital, spreads across islands and mainland, and its landmarks reflect that mix. The National Museum on Lagos Island holds artifacts from Nigeria's diverse ethnic groups, the Nike Art Gallery in Lekki shows contemporary Nigerian art, and the Lekki Conservation Centre offers a canopy walkway and wildlife viewing. The climate is tropical, with a wet season from April to October and a dry season from November to March, and temperatures stay warm all year. Ikeja, on the mainland, is home to Murtala Muhammed International Airport and takes in Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja, Radisson Blu Lagos Ikeja Hotel, Radisson Hotel Lagos Ikeja and The Lilygate. Victoria Island, an upscale commercial and residential district, accounts for Four Points by Sheraton Lagos, Nordic Hotel Lagos, The Seattle Residences and Royal Residences by Design Union. Ikoyi, quieter and leafy, has Mövenpick Hotel Ikoyi Lagos. Ikeja suits transit passengers; the island addresses suit business travellers and couples who want restaurants and offices nearby.

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

Lagos is served by Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) in Ikeja, with direct flights from many African, European and Middle Eastern cities. From the airport, taxis and ride-hailing services are available to the island districts, though travel time varies with traffic. Around the city, visitors often rely on private cars, taxis or ride-hailing apps, and ferries connect some waterfront areas. Public buses run on major routes, but many visitors prefer to arrange private transport because of congestion.

When to go

The dry season from November to March is generally considered the best time to visit Lagos, since rainfall is lower and humidity is slightly less intense, and this period also includes popular festivals and holidays. The wet season from April to October brings frequent rain, but temperatures remain warm throughout the year. Visitors should be prepared for heat and humidity whatever the season, and pack rain gear if travelling between April and October.
