Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing can occur in crowded bus stops like Obalende and Yaba. Avoid isolated areas and late-night travel on public transport. Be mindful of 'one-chance' operators, though less common on these main routes.
