With around 17.5 million inhabitants, Lagos is the largest city in Africa in terms of population and GDP, and one of the fastest growing cities in the world.

The name 'Lagos' was given to the settlement by the Portuguese, meaning 'lakes'.

When to visit Lagos

The dry season, from December to March, brings with it the Harmattan winds from the Sahara Desert. It can be both windy and dusty during this time. Lagos celebrates a range of both Christian and Muslim festivals such as Christmas, Easter, Eid Al Maulud and Eid Al Fitri. There are also several non-religious festivals such as the Lagos Black Heritage Festival in May and the Eyo Festival.
