Lagos

Golden cliffs and sea caves. Backpacker-dense in summer.

Travellers come here for beaches, slowing down, meeting people and nightlife.

When to go

Aim for May, June and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

Mean daily high from long-run climate normals — a typical year, not a forecast.
