Lagos, Nigeria
Lagos does not do anything quietly. The city sprawls across islands and the mainland, but its most walkable areas — Lagos Island, Victoria Island, and Lekki — concentrate the cultural highlights. Lagos Island's Broad Street area features colonial-era buildings, the iconic Freedom Park, and bustling marketplaces. The Nike Art Gallery in Lekki houses four floors of contemporary Nigerian art. Victoria Island's high-energy nightlife and restaurant scene anchors the city's social life. For history, Badagry — a short drive west — preserves the painful memory of the slave trade. Walking in Lagos requires confidence and a spirit of adventure, but the rewards are immense.
