{"id":18,"count":920,"description":"Abuja unfolds as a city sculpted by both nature and modern design, with its skyline dominated by the imposing Aso Rock and the nearby Zuma Rock gateway. At its heart lies Millennium Park, where wide lawns, winding pathways and water features invite families and joggers alike to pause beneath the swaying palms. Just east of the city centre, Jabi Lake Park stretches along serene waterside promenades, complete with boat rides, al fresco caf\u00e9s and a bustling weekend market.\r\n\r\nReligious life is framed by two architectural icons: the Abuja National Mosque\u2019s gleaming domes and the National Christian Centre\u2019s soaring dome and stained-glass windows, each welcoming visitors for quiet reflection and guided tours. For a taste of local craftsmanship, the Arts and Crafts Village near the Sheraton Hotel offers colourful masks, carved woodworks and hand-woven textiles. When evening falls, Wonderland Amusement Park and Gurara Falls excursions beckon thrill-seekers, while rooftop lounges on Victoria Island capture glowing sunsets over the Federal Capital\u2019s gleaming avenues.","link":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/city\/abuja\/","name":"Abuja","slug":"abuja","taxonomy":"location","parent":0,"meta":[],"cubewp_term_meta":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/booknaija.ng\/places\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/18","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=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
