A global magazine, Time Out, has ranked Lagos as the 19th best city to visit in the world in 2024. 

According to their annual global survey, Lagos and two other African countries were part of the top 50 best cities to visit the world. Cape Town in South Africa at 2nd place and Accra in Ghana at 44th.

The report highlighted key attractions on Lagos Island and the mainland, offering excellent experiences to tourists. 

The survey rated the city’s standard of living, with a 92 percent friendliness, 96 percent locals reporting happiness, and 98 percent describing Lagos as beautiful.

“Posh Victoria Island continues to deliver a trifecta of swanky resorts, food haunts, and nightlife. Lekki is for the brunchers – make Maple Lagos your first stop. On the mainland, Kuti’s Bistro in Ikeja, owned by the legendary afrobeat family, serves up reliably delicious food and hosts parties, karaoke and games nights.

“And then there are the beaches – hit up Oniru Beach for some fun in the sun, but be sure to bring naira for this private beach. For those who live for the night, Hard Rock Cafe Lagos provides a massive indoor-outdoor playground with top artists including DJ Obi (‘Obi’s House’ on Mondays), who set a Guinness World Record in 2016 for a 240-hour marathon set,” the report partially read.
