Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe. However, 'one-chance' vehicles (unregistered public transport used by criminals) are a risk, especially at night. Always board buses at designated bus stops and avoid empty or suspicious-looking vehicles. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.
