🇳🇬 Weekend Getaway in Nigeria | Lagos Adventure Guide! 🎉
Since Nigeria isn’t a typical tourist hotspot, I relied on local colleagues and Xiaohongshu for inspo—and my weekend was packed with fun! Here’s the itinerary: 📅 SATURDAY 1️⃣ National Museum of Nigeria ⭐⭐⭐ ₦1,500 entry | Quick 30-min tour to grasp the country’s history. Small but insightful—great for first-timers! 🏛️ 2️⃣ Arts & Crafts Market ⭐⭐⭐ Wood carvings + vibrant paintings 🎨—perfect souvenirs! Bargaining is a SPORT here 🏆 (start at 30% of the asking price!). Hot tip: No AC, and it’s a 3-hour haggling marathon… hydrate! 💦 3️⃣ Nike Art Gallery ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (FREE entry!) 4 floors of stunning Nigerian art—some pieces for sale. 🖼️ Even if you don’t buy, it’s more captivating than paid exhibits in Shanghai! Spent 2 hrs wishing I could take it all home. 😍 📅 SUNDAY 1️⃣ Lekki Conservation Centre ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (¥30 entry!) Green monkeys 🐒 (way friendlier than China’s Emei Shan gang!). Peacocks + giant tortoises (missed them this time 🥲). Canopy walkway 🌉—quiet and surreal (no crowds like in China!). Budget-friendly gem—1-2 hrs well spent! 2️⃣ Salma Lebanese Restaurant ⭐⭐⭐ Great for adventurous eaters 🥙, but not for strict Chinese palates. Vibes = Shanghai’s Xintiandi—a chic escape! 🍽️ 📌 Pro Tips: ✔ Cash is king (markets + museums). ✔ Wear cool clothes—Lagos heat is no joke! ☀️ ✔ Monkeys at Lekki? They’re polite—no mugging! 🙈 #NigeriaTravel 🇳🇬 #LagosWeekend 🎨 #AfricanArt 🖼️ #JungleAdventure 🌿 #HiddenGems 💎 #BudgetTravel 💰 #MonkeyLove 🐒
