Crowded when we were there.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It is very easy to navigate and walk through. Many places to eat. If you get lost, ask anyone for help and they will happily give it to you. Our favorite part was that this city is center to Lagos and Lagoa, both only about 30 mins away.
