Start here
Visiting Abuja
Abuja is a planned city, and it rewards a bit of planning back. It is spread out, the districts each feel different, and a lot of what makes it enjoyable is not on a landmark list — it is a restaurant in Wuse II, a Sunday at Jabi Lake, a drive out to Zuma Rock, a festival you happened to be in town for.
Everything on this site is organised around those decisions. Start with whichever one you are making now.

If you only read two things
