Lagos is one of Africa's largest cities, spread across islands and lagoons on the Atlantic coast. Lagos Island has the business district and the old markets, while Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki have hotels, restaurants and nightlife.

The Lekki Conservation Centre has a long canopy walkway above the forest, the Nike Art Gallery has thousands of works by Nigerian artists, and boats take you to Tarkwa Bay beach. Lagos is the heart of Nigeria's music scene, and live music is easy to find.

Many UK travellers come to see family. The drier months from November to February are the most comfortable.
