Nigeria

Nigeria is a large West African destination where energetic cities, deep cultural traditions and varied landscapes come together. From the commercial energy of Lagos to the calmer administrative centre of Abuja, the country offers a wide range of experiences for leisure and business travellers.

Major cities each have their own character. Lagos is the country's commercial and entertainment heart, Abuja is the planned capital with government institutions, while Kano, Ibadan, Port Harcourt and Calabar add historical, industrial and coastal perspectives to any journey.

Beyond the cities, Nigeria features landscapes ranging from Gulf of Guinea beaches and the rainforest belt to the central Jos Plateau, northern savanna and the waterways of the Niger Delta. Its cultural life is equally diverse, shaped by hundreds of ethnic groups, Nollywood cinema, Afrobeat music, traditional festivals and regional cuisine.

Nigeria is one of Africa's largest economies and an important business destination, particularly through Lagos and Abuja. International trade, energy, technology and creative industries support a busy calendar of conferences, cultural events and regional travel.

A growing network of international airports, major highways and intercity rail connections helps link Nigeria's main cities and regions. Transport options between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations include private transfers, chauffeur services, buses and rental cars.
