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.
