Once You Land

Discover Lagos

Beaches and bridges, galleries and giant flavour — the mega city runs on its own electricity.

Lagos skyline and the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge

Lekki-Ikoyi & Victoria Island

The cable-stayed bridge, glass towers and waterfront energy — the Lagos postcard, live.

Nike Art Gallery

Five floors of Nigerian painting, sculpture and adire textile — the continent's largest art space.

Lekki Conservation Centre

Africa's longest canopy walkway — 400m of treetop trail over wetlands teeming with monkeys.

Tarkwa Bay & Elegushi

Boat-only beach escapes and sunset beach clubs — Lagos lives outdoors by the Atlantic.

Fela's Legacy & Afrobeats Nights

From Kalakuta's shrine to New Afrika Shrine today — the sound the world now dances to.

The Jollof Capital

Taste the rivalry at source — smoky party jollof, suya at dusk, small chops and pepper soup.

Good to Know

Lagos travel essentials

The practical details, handled before you pack.

Visa & Entry

UK citizens need a visa for Nigeria — apply online via the Nigeria Immigration Service portal, with biometrics at the High Commission in London. A yellow fever certificate is mandatory. We'll checklist everything with you.

Best Time to Visit

November to February is the drier Harmattan window — beach weather, Detty December energy and the clearest lagoon evenings.

Money & Payments

Nigerian Naira (NGN) — bring clean USD or EUR notes to exchange; international cards are increasingly limited. Cash and mobile transfers rule daily life.

Language

English is the official language and Nigerian Pidgin the city's heartbeat — signage, business and banter all in English. Zero language barrier.

Time Zone

WAT (GMT+1) — just 1 hour ahead of the UK. Land at 14:00 local and you're at a lagoon-side lunch by your body clock's lunchtime.

LOS → Victoria Island

Murtala Muhammed International sits ~20km from VI/Ikoyi — and Lagos traffic is legendary, so budget 60–90 minutes. We arrange trusted, traffic-aware transfers.

Questions

Lagos trip FAQs

Not currently — RwandAir connects through its Kigali hub, the smoothest one-stop routing available at around 15h 30m fastest — one of the quickest West African journeys in our network. Bags are checked all the way through to LOS and the Kigali connection is guaranteed on a single ticket.

Both: UK passport holders need a visa — apply online through the Nigeria Immigration Service portal, then complete biometrics at the Nigeria High Commission in London before travel. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory on arrival; get vaccinated at least 10 days before departure. Our team walks you through the full entry checklist so nothing surprises you at check-in.

On a through-ticketed RwandAir booking you're protected: the airline rebooks you on the next available Lagos flight at no cost. Both legs are the same carrier, your bags are transferred for you, and our 24/7 team monitors the connection in real time.

Economy includes 23kg checked plus 7kg cabin on every leg, with the checked bag tagged straight through to LOS. Extra allowance — hugely popular on this route for family visits and shipments — can be pre-booked through us at better rates than airport prices.

Depends on your mission: Lagos is the commercial engine — business, tech, entertainment, beaches and nightlife — while Abuja is the political capital, calmer and government-focused. We fly to both, and an internal Nigeria connection is easy to add if your trip spans the two.

Yes — Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki hotels, plus trusted, traffic-aware airport transfers that know when (and when not) to cross the Third Mainland Bridge, can all be added to your booking. For the overnight Kigali connection, we can also arrange a transit hotel with shuttle so you rest between flights.
