Things to do in Murtala Muhammed International Airport
Lagos is Africa's most dynamic megacity — a chaotic, creative, and commercially driven metropolis of over 20 million people. The Victoria Island and Lekki areas have excellent restaurants and the thriving Afrobeats music scene that has taken global pop culture by storm. The Nike Art Gallery in Lekki is one of Africa's largest private art collections with extraordinary Nigerian traditional and contemporary work. Tarkwa Bay — a sheltered beach accessible by boat — offers a break from the city's intensity.
