Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings/early afternoons (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can easily double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos is generally safe during daylight hours. However, evening travel, particularly on public transport, requires vigilance. 'One-chance' incidences (where criminals pose as public transport operators to rob passengers) are a risk, especially late at night or in less populated areas. Avoid displaying valuables openly. Always board buses from recognized bus stops.
