Traveling to Nigeria offers the opportunity to discover ancient kingdoms, traditional tribes that still practice tattooing and scarification on their bodies, and dusty trading cities, where memories of the Saharan trade routes still linger.

Lagos is one of the most lush cities in Africa, while the port city of Calabar is a pleasant stop for travelers heading to Cameroon. Across southern Nigeria, ancient kingdoms continue their customs, from creating elaborate bronze sculptures to worshiping ancient gods. The more modern traditions include one of the pioneering primate conservation organizations in the world. In the north, where the land dries up as it spreads out into the desert, Muslim Nigeria thrives in dusty trade towns where memories of the Sahara trade routes still linger.

Colonial residents working for the Department of Public Works introduced a variant of neoclassical architecture into the designs of government buildings and private residences: Afro-Brazilian architecture. In the local living space, African returnees influenced the adoption of a Brazilian-type building that would later be extended to other parts of the country. Also, tropical modernist architecture, Hausa architecture, Yoruba architecture and the vernacular architecture of the Dukkawa people stand out.
