Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Lagos Discovery Guide

Overview

Changed

Lagos is a bustling town full of history, charming buildings, and a relaxed ambiance. The historical monuments and architecture of this historic fishing port take us back to the many different peoples who have settled here - the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Moors.

Many maritime adventures have started in Lagos' impressive natural harbor, and its close reliance on the ocean continues to this day. Lagos offers an excellent array of restaurants, and bars. The busy flea market fills the narrow streets of the city center, which also boasts a Cultural Center hosting various exhibitions and events throughout the year. Lagos has many gorgeous beaches, yet the beach of Praia do Ana is probably one of the most scenic. Yellow cliffs surround this small cove, with incredible turquoise waters – the Praia do Ana is simply stunning.
