Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Traveling mid-day (between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM) can also offer relatively clearer roads. Avoid rush hours (typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as travel time can easily double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's important to be aware of your surroundings. Be cautious of 'one-chance' buses or taxis, especially when traveling late at night or from less official bus stops. Pickpockets are common in crowded areas like major bus stops. Always keep your valuables secure and out of sight.
