Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Weekends generally offer slightly less traffic, especially on Saturdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport like Danfo and BRT are generally safe for established routes, be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas like markets and bus stops, especially on Lagos Island. Avoid late-night travel if possible and always keep your belongings secure.
