Attractions

Lagos has a number of great sightseeing opportunities, but for some the noise, hustle and bustle of the city's streets and markets will seem enough of a sightseeing experience. Lekki Market is the best place to experience what city life in Lagos is all about. After a few days in Lagos many visitors may feel the need for some peace and quiet, there are a number of great attractions a short one hour drive from central Lagos. A trip to Eleko Beach offers the perfect respite from the traders and 'chancers' of the Lagos streets, or visit Sungbo's Eredo to see the largest pre-colonial construction Africa has to offer. A trip to Lagos wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Lekki Conservation Centre on the Lekki Peninsula. Finally, Nigeria's National Museum on Lagos Island houses a collection of relics and treasures from across this fascinating country.
