Lagos is not for the faint hearted and can be very daunting to a first-timer. Taxis are not recommended as they are often used for nefarious means, so having a contact or guide who can meet you at the airport is essential. However, once away from the airport it can be a fantastic, vibrant city to explore, particularly in the relatively safer, more developed areas of Lagos Island, Ikoyi and Victoria Island.
