Top Attractions in Lagos
💡 The exhibition at the Mercado de Escravos is small but sobering—spend 15 minutes reading the panels. Then walk 100m east to the Praça do Infante for the bronze statue of Henry the Navigator; it's the best free photo backdrop in town.
💡 Free entry on Sundays. The cloister garden is a quiet spot for a break, but the museum's real highlight is the restored convent chapel with its blue-and-white azulejo tiles.
💡 It gets packed by 11am in summer. Go for a late-afternoon swim (5pm onward) when the sun leaves the main stretch and the light catches the fort. Bring your own towel; deckchair hire on site but cheap.
💡 Go at low tide and early morning (before 9am) to avoid crowds and see the rock pools clearly. Free parking near the lighthouse; the boardwalk itself costs nothing.
💡 Entry is €2 for the museum; the church itself is free to visit. Go on the first Sunday of the month when both are free. Arrive before 10am to hear the organ being practised.
