Lagos has been ranked as the 19th best city to visit in the world, according to Time Out, a British media and hospitality company that publishes guides and magazines.
Time Out said the conclusion was drawn from a survey of more than 20,000 city dwellers around the world with its network of editors.
Criteria used to rate the cities include food (quality and affordability), culture, nightlife, how the city makes people feel, strong community vibes, access to green space, historic sites and much more.
