Interesting Places and Tourist Attractions in Lagos
Forget about the "Welcome to Lagos" madness! Forget about the terrorist attacks in Northern Nigeria (Lagos is far away from there - distance from Lagos to Northern Nigeria is farther than Aberdeen to Plymouth. Forget about all the madness you have heard about Lagos - Lagos is the place to be. Some call it the poor man's New York - I called it the most unique city in the world.

There are too many tourist attractions in Lagos - from the Island, Mainland, Ikorodu, Abule Egba, Ogba, Alimosho, Ikoyi, Obalende, Epe, Badagry, Apapa, Ikeja, Sango etc. But I'll post a few for now.

What makes Lagos thick - and the places you need to visit, when next you're in Lagos include the followings:

The Civic Centre
The Civic centre with its three banqueting rooms (Grand Banquet Hall, Panoramic View Hall, Floating Restaurant), and two Meeting Rooms, offer breathtaking hospitality and service complete with incomparable value for money. This new centre boasts the latest state-of-the-art facilities with in-house technology partners offering infra-red simultaneous translation systems and wireless internet broadband connectivity (Wi-Fi) as well as video conferencing that can connect all our halls. All Halls are standard with projector, screen and microphones at no additional Charge.

Third Mainland Bridge
The Third Mainland Bridge is the longest of three bridges connecting Lagos Island, Lagos, Nigeria to the mainland, the other two being the Eko and Carter bridges. It is the longest bridge in Africa. The bridge starts from Oworonshoki which is linked to the Apapa-Oshodi express way and Lagos-Ibadan express way, and ends at the Adeniji Adele Interchange on Lagos Island. There is also a link midway through the bridge that leads to the Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba. The bridge was built by Julius Berger Nigeria PLC and opened by President Ibrahim Babangida in 1990; it measures about 11.8km in length.


Marina (CMS)
If I can remember vividly, Marina (CMS) along with Broad street used to be Nigeria's wall street - before everything was moved to Victoria Island (according to my friends in Nigeria). I'm a Lagos Island boy - and Campos is home away from my father's house lol.
