Landmarks make it easier for people to find their way around a huge city and could be a major tourist attraction within a city. Here in Abuja these 6 landmarks easily standout serving as reference point for locating places within various Abuja districts.

The Silverbird Entertainment Center
Mention Cinemas or Abuja’s best place for a hangout and you shouldn’t be surprised if anyone replies Silverbird. This 5 storey gigantic Mall and entertainment center is a landmark that you should know about specifically if you’re looking for a fun place to hang out with friends on a visit to town or you happen to be on a visit to Abuja and you’re bored.

City Gate
The so called entry point into the city center from the Abuja international Airport. It’s the entry point for first time visitors to Abuja especially expatriates into the main districts of Abuja; Asokoro, Wuse, Garki, Maitama and Central Business District. This Icon is presently undergoing a facelift and should be a source of pride to the city.

Eagle Square (Central Area)
Famed for hosting major national events such as party conventions, hand over ceremonies, labour day celebrations and independence day celebrations to name a few the Eagle Square is one of Nigeria’s most symbolic icons you can’t miss it if you happen to be driving through the so called three arms zone or the national secretariat.

Banex Plaza (Wuse 2)
The biggest shopping Plaza in Abuja, Banex has a bus stop named after it and hardly anyone who has had anything to do in Abuja’s city center is oblivious of this land mark.

National Stadium
The national stadium built in 2003 at a whopping cost of N38 billion remains one of the biggest and easily most recognised monuments in Abuja. Of late it has been at the receiving end of neglect suffering from dilapidation but it still remains one of Abuja’s easily recognised Icons.

Millennium Park
People from far and wide visit the millennium park on weekends and public holidays as it makes a name for itself as the most popular relaxation spot within Abuja attracting massive number of visitors from far and wide.
