Getting from Lagos airport to the city center

Lagos is served by Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), located approximately 22 km north of Lagos Island and Victoria Island, the main business and commercial districts. The airport handles both international and domestic flights. Airport transfers to city center destinations include taxis, ride-hailing services, public buses, and private transfers. Journey times vary significantly depending on Lagos traffic conditions, which can be severe during peak hours. Most travelers heading to Lagos Island, Victoria Island, or Ikeja can expect travel times ranging from 30 minutes to over 2 hours depending on traffic.

Notes:

  • Prices in NGN; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Lagos traffic can be extremely heavy, especially during morning (7–10 AM) and evening (4–8 PM) rush hours. Journey times can double or triple during peak periods.
  • Official airport taxis operate from designated stands outside the terminals with fixed rates to major destinations.
  • Ride-hailing apps (Uber, Bolt) are widely used and generally considered safe. Pickup points are designated at the airport.
  • The BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) does not serve the airport directly; travelers need to take a taxi or ride-hailing service to the nearest BRT stop in Ikeja.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
