Hey,

I’m a 20 year old from London who is visiting Lagos for 10 days early May. I really love to walk so could you guys recommend any nice and safe areas in Lagos where I can spend the day chilling out, taking photos maybe grabbing a meal or two or whatever. I know some nice areas are Ikeja GRA, Banana Island and Lekki Phase One. Could you recommend any more for walking. Also, what would you recommend to do during the day? Any places I should see or things I should do in particular? Nightlife sounds like it will be amazing, VI, Surulere and etc are places I will be sure to visit at night. The problem is my family will be busy working and I need to occupy myself during the day so I really need places to visit and ideas of things to see.

Also, I really want to get to know the real Lagos and meet some locals. What is the best way to go about doing this? I really want this to be an experience I can treasure. Thanks!
