READ THE GUIDE & BOOK CHEAP FLIGHTS TO LAGOS

First timers

The banging drums of Fuji music, fresh seafood and sandy Atlantic beaches are in easy reach with cheap flights to Lagos. Watch out for Mona Monkeys in the palm trees of the Lekki Conservatory or take a picnic to Alpha Beach. The National Museum boasts a maze of bronze sculptures from the Benin ages. At night, Lagos parties to everything from afro-hip-hop to jazz.

Frequent flyers

Climb Olumo Rock and marvel at the extensive metropolis of Lagos from the top. The Black Heritage Museum takes you back to the days of the Slave Route, while modern Nigerian art awaits at the National Theatre and Gallery. After your flight to Lagos, board a small boat to the sheltered Tarkwa Bay, to find a calmer Atlantic and romantic spots. Large palm trees provide shade on pristine Coconut Beach.

Shops

Check the wooden masks on offer at the stalls of Oyingbo Market and Lekki’s array of handmade crafts. Leave the bustle and haggling behind and try the Falomo Shopping Centre, where sleek shops sell slightly more upmarket goods and souvenirs. A cheap flight to Lagos means you can easily afford to take plenty of presents home!

Nights

Flights to Lagos let you get right into the city’s bustling nightlife, from Awolowo Road’s hip clubs to the stylish cocktail bars and outdoor live venues of Bishop Aboyade Cole Street. Victoria Island is where foodies head for chilli-peppered groundnut stews and freshly prepared lobsters. After your meal, seek out a pub to sample Nigeria’s take on Guinness beer.
