Lagos Vacation Guide

Lagos is a metropolis in Nigeria with over 8 million people living in the city. It is also the most populous African city, with current estimation of being the seventh fastest growing city in the world. Until, 1991 Lagos was the capital of Nigeria (Abuja has since been the replacement). However, the city is the economic and financial capital of the country, where the nation's wealth and economic activity are heavily concentrated.

Lagos lies in south-western Nigeria, on the Atlantic coast in the Gulf of Guinea, which is west of the Niger River delta. There are three major urban islands of Lagos in Lagos Lagoon, comprising of Lagos Island, Ikoyi, and Victoria. These 3 islands are separated from the mainland by the main channel draining the lagoon into the Atlantic, which forms Lagos Harbour.

Whilst Lagos may not be on the list for top tourist destinations, due to it being primarily business-oriented, as well as carrying the reputation for been a fast paced area, tourist attractions due include Oba's Palace, the National Museum, and the beach resorts.
