{"id":173,"count":1477,"description":"Lagos pulses with a mix of laid-back green retreats and urban sparkle. Freedom Park transforms the old Broad Street prison into a leafy event space, where live music and art mingle among colonial-era walls. On nearby Onikan, the Nigerian National Museum houses Nok terracotta, Benin bronzes, and ethnographic treasures that trace centuries of West African creativity. The soaring minarets of Lagos Central Mosque anchor the spiritual life of the island, drawing worshippers into its ornate courtyards every Friday.\r\n\r\nBeyond the island\u2019s historic core, Victoria Island\u2019s waterfront skyline frames the Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal golden sunsets over the lagoon and palm-lined promenades below. On the Lekki\u2013Epe Expressway, LUFASI Nature Park shelters winding trails, bird hides, and a wildlife rescue center, an oasis where city dwellers forage for quiet among native trees and rescued animals.","link":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/city\/lagos\/","name":"Lagos","slug":"lagos","taxonomy":"location","parent":0,"meta":[],"cubewp_term_meta":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/location"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing?location=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
