2. Black Heritage Museum
Another place tourists must visit is the Black Heritage Museum in Lagos. Located at Badagry, this museum was partly founded by a Nigerian cultural commission.

The Black Heritage Museum has about nine galleries which display dated shackles, photos, documents, sketches and sculptures that span the 300 years during which African people were traded like goods.
3. Niteshift Coliseum
First opened in 1988, the Niteshift Coliseum is a popular attraction among locals and visitors. Situated in Opebi valley, the heart of Ikeja, this is a must-visit attraction for tourists.

4. Iga Idungaran
Tourists should make it a point to visit Iga Idungaran, the Oba’s palace. Located to the North of Lagos Island, on Upper King Street, this magnificent building dates back to 300 years ago. Iga Idungaran is one of the most important historical sites in Lagos and is the official residence for the Oba of Lagos. An important part of the structure was built by the Portuguese in 1705. The building has been expanded and renovated in stages to keep it in good condition. Tourists who want to explore the palace can ask the Secretary of the Oba of Lagos for permission.
5. Water House
Another attraction that tourists must visit is Water House, which is a wonderful example of Brazilian architecture. Located at 12 Kakawa Street , it is one of the oldest of its kinds in the city. The construction of the house was started by Joa Esan Da Rocha, who was one of the first people who began to free slaves brought in from Brazil. The name came about after the owner of the house started selling proper drinking water to residents around the area. Though the building is currently being used for residential and commercial purposes, it is also a National Monument.
