Africa's biggest megacity by population, running on a nightlife and Afrobeats scene that shapes what half the continent listens to, an art gallery scene exploding in confidence, and a beach getaway on the edge of it all for whenever the traffic finally wins.

The best time to visit Lagos is Nov–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 33°C (92°F).
