What do I need to know about staying in Lagos?
Lagos is Nigeria’s largest city and one of the largest in sub-Saharan Africa, therefore it is very vibrant and fast-paced.
- Transport in Lagos - As one of the most densely populated cities in Africa, travelling around Lagos can be an adventure in itself, and navigating the city can feel overwhelming for first-time visitors. However, there are several modes of transportation available to help you get from place to place:
-
- Danfo: Iconic yellow commercial minibuses that serve various routes across the city. They're cheap and widely used, though often crowded and less regulated.
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT): A more structured and reliable public transport option, the BRT system operates on dedicated lanes, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to danfos.
- Okadas and AWA Bikes: Motorcycle taxis, including the newer AWA Bike service, are a popular way to beat traffic, especially for short distances. However, they are restricted in some parts of Lagos.
- Traditional metered taxis are available, though less commonly used today due to the rise of apps. Bolt and Uber provide a more convenient and comfortable way to move around the city. While navigating Lagos may require patience, the variety of transport options ensures you can explore the city according to your comfort level and schedule.
- Weather in Lagos - Lagos has a tropical climate, with hot temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. The year is broadly divided into two main seasons: Dry Season: November to March, characterized by less rainfall and slightly cooler nights, though still humid. Rainy Season: April to October, marked by frequent downpours, overcast skies, and high humidity levels. The average temperature in August, typically the coolest month, is around 25.6°C, while March, the hottest month, sees average temperatures of about 29.5°C. Regardless of the season, the weather is often muggy, with humidity remaining consistently high.
- Lagos Cuisine - In Lagos, locals take pride in their cuisine, which is rich, flavourful, and rooted in tradition. A must-try dish is jollof rice, a vibrant, rice-based meal cooked in a blend of tomato sauce, peppers, onions, and spices. Another local delicacy is suya, thinly sliced, skewered meat seasoned with a spicy peanut-based rub and grilled, often served with onions and spicy pepper sauce on the side. Soups and stews are central to the Lagos diet, therefore very popular around the city. For those on long-term stays, you may try the local cuisines and also buy your own ingredients to cook within the comfort of your apartment.
- Language – English is the official language of Nigeria and is widely used in government, business, and education. It serves as a medium for communication within the country’s diverse linguistic landscape. Among the many regional languages, Hausa stands out as one of the most widely spoken, not only in Nigeria but across West Africa, especially in the northern regions of the country.
- Sights in Lagos – During your corporate stay in Lagos, you'll find a wide variety of attractions to explore. Art lovers can visit the Nike Art Gallery, one of the largest art galleries in West Africa, showcasing traditional and contemporary Nigerian works. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the Lekki Conservation Centre, home to the longest canopy walkway in Africa. For a relaxing day by the ocean, Tarkwa Bay offers a beach experience accessible by boat. Additionally, Lagos is dotted with numerous public parks, perfect for evening strolls or unwinding after a day’s work.
