✈️ Getting there

LOSMurtala Muhammed International Airport
📍 22 km⏱ 45 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Ride-hail (Bolt/Uber)🚌 Bus

Bolt and Uber are by far the safest and most reliable options from the airport to Victoria Island or the mainland — expect to pay ₦6,000–₦12,000 (roughly €4–€8) depending on traffic, which can be severe during peak hours.

Murtala Muhammed is a busy, bustling West African hub that handles significant traffic across two terminals; Terminal 2 is the international wing used by European carriers including British Airways, Air France, and Ethiopian Airlines.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Lagos — beyond the tourist trail.

🎨Visit Nike Art Gallery in Lekki on a weekday morning — it's one of Africa's largest private art collections spread across five floors, and founder Nike Davies-Okundaye is often there. Arrive before 10am to avoid the tourist buses.
🏖️Take the short boat ride from Five Cowries Terminal to Tarkwa Bay Beach — it's the cleanest and calmest beach near Lagos, far quieter than Elegushi. Go on a weekday; weekends attract large local crowds.
🍽️Eat suya at night from a roadside suya spot in Ikeja or Surulere — the spiced, grilled beef skewers are sliced fresh and wrapped in newspaper with raw onions. This is Lagos street food at its most authentic; the best spots are gone by 10pm.
🛍️Balogun Market on Lagos Island is overwhelming in the best way — go with a fixed budget, zero the first price you're quoted by at least 40%, and allow three hours to get properly lost. It sells everything from ankara fabric to electronics.
🌅Watch sunset from the rooftop bar at Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi or from Skybar 25 on Victoria Island — Lagos sunsets over the lagoon are spectacular, and these spots let you take them in without the gridlock traffic that makes street-level evenings frustrating.
