With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Nigerian National Museum, 45 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Bar Beach, Lagos City Mall and Kuramo Beach. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of University of Ibadan, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Obafemi Awolowo Stadium. (But we’d also recommend Adamasingba Stadium and The Ventura Mall.)
