Lagos is one of the largest cities in Nigeria and in entire Africa. Although it’s not the capital, Lagos is the financial center of the entire Nigeria. It has one of the biggest and busiest seaports in entire Africa. Even though it’s not the most visited place by tousrists, Lagos has a lot to offer.

The Cathedral Church of Christ

One of the main sights in Lagos is the Cathedral Church of Christ. This cathedral was built over a period of 20 years, and it was finished in 1946. It is designed in Norman Gothic style, and it represents a great Christian symbol. The first African bishop was buried there and there is a monument built in his honor. If you want to take a picture of the entire cathedral, you should go across Marina Street, or take a picture from the bridge nearby. The appearance of the cathedral is worth the trouble.

Ride in a Keke

Kekes are small three-wheel vehicles that fill the streets of Lagos. They are used because they are economic, cheap to maintain, and above all, interesting to ride in. Kekes have different names in different parts of Asia, such as Tuk-Tuks in Thailand, Rikshaws in India, and more. Don’t miss the adventure and rush of driving in it.

Lekki Conservation Centre

If you love an outdoor experience, and you would like to try the scary and fun canopy walk, this is the right place to visit. This center is home to some endangered species that remain preserved in rich habitats like thick forests, grass fields, and rich nature overall. Tours that park rangers give there are great.
