Lagos is the most populous city of Nigeria, but is not really a tourist destination.
Because of security concerns Lekki Market is not recommended, but that's where you would head to find the more authentic Nigerian goods. The Palms Shopping Mall has a cinema, Game and Shoprite.
Local scooters, buses and taxis are available but not recommended. Transport should always be pre-arranged, as Lagos is not the safest place for tourists after dark. Most hotels have cars available and there are a number of private chauffeur services. Rates start at about R250 for 3 hours. Armoured vehicles are available from some $100 per person.
Villa Medici offers continental and French cuisine. Fusion offers fusion Lebanese cuisine and sushi, with a waterfront view.
The Ikoyi Golf Club has a 71-par course that lies on the eastern edge of the Lagos lagoon.
The best beaches are said to be at Tarkwa Bay (only accessible by boat), Eko Tourist Beach Resort and Eleko Beach.
Sun International's Federal Palace Hotel, the Protea Hotel and the adjacent Eko Hotel and Suites are of the more popular establishments.
