Why visit Lekki, Lagos plus short let apartments choices? Lagos, Nigeria is the largest city in Africa, yet tourism there seems to be only a minor (albeit burgeoning) sidebar in a hospitality industry geared more toward business. This means you’ll find ample fine accommodations, but will need to do a bit of research, and preferably get the advice of locals, to find the best things to do in Lagos to fit your desires. The city’s internationally acclaimed arts scene is thriving, with many galleries and cultural centers to peruse, and live music and dance performances take place with great frequency all over Lagos. This means visitors who enjoy music and the arts will find Lagos an incredible source of entertainment and inspiration, day and night.
Thinking about taking your nightlife escapades to the next level? Then think Fela Shrine a.k.a The New Afrika Shrine. From the genre of music to the inspirational story-telling lyrics, not forgetting the sacrosanct palm-wine, get ready to get a political education, a lesson in ‘shakin-it’ and a contact high! The New Afrika Shrine is an open-air entertainment centre located in Ikeja, Lagos State. It serves as the host location of the annual Felabration music festival. Currently managed by Femi Kuti and Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, it is the replacement of the old Afrika Shrine created in 1970 by Fela Kuti until it was burnt down in 1977. The New Afrika Shrine showcases photo galleries of Fela and musical performances by Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti, thus making it a tourist attraction.
Located in Iganmu is the architectural masterpiece the National Arts theatre, home to Nigerian entertainment, art, and cultural preservation. The environment is serene and spacious and is a perfect place to unwind during the weekends and vacation for entertainment and relaxation. Plus, there are some nice restaurants and bars in the theatre great for chilling and hanging out with friends. Who wants to show some moves? Yay! Lagos is known for its awesome night life. And let’s make some confession here *in whispers* *the city comes alive as soon as the sun sets*. With lots of clubs at your disposal, you shouldn’t have a hard time having fun. Club Quilox, Club 57, and Spice Route are some of the best clubs to visit in Lagos. See extra info on this website.
Nigeria may not be known for its surfing culture, but Tarkwa bay is starting to put it on the map, as even some of the pros are starting to flock to this hidden but increasingly popular surfing gem. As it’s located on a small artificial island, Tarkwa is only accessible by a 30 minute boat or water taxi from Victoria Island (Mekwe Jetty is one of several places to catch a lift) Didn’t pack your board? That’s cool! It’s still a fun beach (you can rent a chair) and a worthwhile place to visit in Lagos. Plus, watching the surfers at work is always a great thing to do! N200 entrance fee (additional costs for chairs, tables and tent rental).
