Built on reclaimed land along the Atlantic coastline and positioned adjacent to Victoria Island, Eko Atlantic City has become a major centre for commercial development, international business, hospitality and modern urban infrastructure within Lagos.
Lagos is Nigeria’s commercial capital and one of the continent’s leading economic centres, offering international flight connections, premium accommodation, established business districts, and a vibrant cultural and hospitality scene across Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, and the wider city.
Here you will find essential information to support your visit, including accommodation through EventBeds, Nigerian visa guidance, and practical travel information for travelling to and around Lagos during AFRIDEX 2026.

NIKE ART GALLERY
Spread across five floors in Lekki, Nike Art Gallery houses thousands of paintings, sculptures, textiles, and handcrafted works from artists across Nigeria. The gallery has become one of the city’s most recognisable cultural landmarks, with rooms packed floor-to-ceiling with colour, fabric, beadwork, and contemporary African art.
LEKKI CONSERVATION CENTRE
Known for its 401-metre canopy walkway suspended above the treetops, Lekki Conservation Centre offers a quieter side of Lagos along the Lekki Peninsula. Boardwalk trails pass through wetlands and forest areas where visitors regularly spot monkeys, birds, and native wildlife away from the pace of the city.
LANDMARK BEACH
Part of the Landmark Village waterfront district on Victoria Island, Landmark Beach brings together restaurants, bars, oceanfront seating, music, and beach clubs along the Atlantic coastline. The area has become one of Lagos’ most popular destinations for daytime leisure and evening entertainment.
TERRA KULTURE
From live theatre productions and art exhibitions to Nigerian cuisine and spoken word performances, Terra Kulture has played a major role in shaping Lagos’ contemporary cultural scene. Located on Victoria Island, the venue regularly hosts stage productions and events throughout the year.
LEKKI ARTS & CRAFTS MARKET
Rows of stalls filled with wood carvings, woven baskets, paintings, jewellery, leather goods, fabrics, and handmade souvenirs make the Lekki Arts & Crafts Market one of the city’s best-known shopping destinations for Nigerian craft and design.
