When most Nigerians think of where to go on their honeymoon, its usually somewhere abroad. The Maldives, Zanzibar, Dubai, Seychelles, etc are popular honeymoon destinations. Not many people consider honeymooning in a place like Lagos with the hustle and bustle.

We read this article on one of our favorite Nigerian travel blogs – Naija Nomads and we knew we had to share. The article shows how much fun Lagos can be if you know where to go. We’ve tweaked it a little to make it more relevant to our readers because we’re starting a movement to encourage more couples to consider choosing Lagos as their honeymoon destination.
