About this tour
This session walks Rua 25 de Abril after dark, the street where I have worked behind a bar for most of my adult life. You see the early, quieter stretch as bars open for the evening, then the busier end further along once the night picks up. It shows a side of Lagos that day visitors rarely see.
We start with a sound check at the quieter end, then move toward the busier stretch, taking your questions about the bars and the crowd as we go. I send a short list of names afterwards, with a note on the best time to arrive.
It suits anyone deciding how to spend an evening in Lagos, and travellers curious about the old town after the shops close. Nothing is ordered or delivered during the session; it is a walk on camera only.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

The camera moves along the first bars on Rua 25 de Abril as they open for the evening, and I point out which have kept the same owners for years.
-
The busier end 21 min
We continue toward the livelier end of the street, and I explain how the crowd changes through the night, quieter early and much busier later.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Lagos: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Percebes (goose barnacles) and Old Town, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Lisbon time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Lagos, showing you The early stretch and The busier end live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
