Abuja Walking Tour
Abuja, Nigeria
Why Walk Abuja
Abuja replaced Lagos as Nigeria's capital in 1991, designed from scratch as a symbol of national unity. The city's monumental architecture — including the striking Nigerian National Mosque and National Christian Centre facing each other — rises from a landscape of granite inselbergs and savanna. Aso Rock, a massive 400-meter monolith, dominates the skyline.

Abuja is very spread out — you will need transport between sites. The city center is modern and well-organized compared to other Nigerian cities.
Best Time to Visit
October through March for dry season. The harmattan wind in December and January can reduce visibility.
