Lagos travel guide: Lagos is the most populous city in Nigeria with the metropolitan area estimated 300 square km. The city is a group of islands endowed with creeks and a lagoon. Lagos is one of the world’s five largest cities.
It’s administrative and economic centre, and chief port with industries that include railroad repair, motor vehicle assembly, food processing, and the manufacture of metal products, textiles, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, soap, and furniture.
The city is an old Yoruba town, beginning in the 15th century and grew as a trade centre and seaport. From the 1820s until it became a British colony, the city was a notorious centre for slave trade.
In 1914, it became part of the small coastal colony of Nigeria when Southern and Northern Nigeria were amalgamated. Lagos is bustling with restaurants ranging from traditional African to Japanese. However, dining out is not cheap.
