Lagos is also the only place where you see round tables at concerts. Lagosians pay a good amount of money every holiday to watch the same people perform. During the holidays, it is possible to attend \u00a04 concerts with the exact same artiste line-up. Concerts are social gatherings in Lagos, a place where to meet your friends, new friends and just scream at the top of your lungs. You may never really get the worth of your VIP ticket, but you pay for it still. The best thing about concerts in Lagos is that you don&#8217;t have to be at the venue to attend, you can watch from home on snapchat. P.S if you\u2019re attending a concert in Lagos, there\u2019s a high chance the venue is Eko Hotel and Suites or Landmark Event Center so ensure your accommodation is nearby,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ilashe Private Beach<\/strong><br \/>\nIlashe Private Beach is what we are referring to when we say \u2018Eko Miami\u2019.

In Lagos clubs, there is a clear preference for people who exhibit wealth or a certain status. For example, you cannot park your Toyota Camry where the \u00a0Mercedes are. At midnight another side of Lagos comes to life. The club is the place to meet guys and ladies you\u2019d probably never see after that weekend or holiday, and just let loose. Drink to the death of your liver and dance till you can\u2019t move anymore. Drinks in the club are outrageously expensive so if you don\u2019t have ridiculous money to spend, the club is not for you. You haven\u2019t holidayed in Lagos if you don\u2019t touch down at Quilox, 57, Escape, Sip Lounge, Vapors and more. Feel free to go to three clubs in one night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurants<\/strong><br \/>\nNew restaurants are springing up everyday in Lagos, the majority are on the island.

Lagos is adorned with restaurants with the most aesthetically pleasing interior designs. They even make your Instagram location tag look good. When in Lagos you have to eat at one or more of these restaurants;<\/p>\n<p>The Backyard<br \/>\nShiro<br \/>\nNok by Alara<br \/>\nSouth<br \/>\nOrchid Bistro<br \/>\nCasper and Gambini\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>As you tour Lagos, never forget that whatever happens in Lagos, stays in Lagos.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>SOURCE<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hintng.com\/things-to-do-in-lagos\/\">https:\/\/hintng.com\/things-to-do-in-lagos\/<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lagos is the greatest city there ever was.
