Lagos has been ranked the 6th best city in the world for nightlife in 2024, surpassing renowned cities such as Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Manchester in the United Kingdom.
This ranking was published by Time Out, a global magazine operating in 333 cities across 59 countries, and it highlights Lagos’ vibrant and dynamic nightlife scene, largely driven by its globally celebrated Afrobeats culture.
The survey, which gathered feedback from thousands of participants across various cities, evaluated both the quality and affordability of nightlife, with Lagos impressively scoring 80% for the quality of its nightlife offerings.
Additionally, the affordability of the city’s diverse nightlife scene stood out, earning a score of 48%, further emphasizing that locals and tourists alike can enjoy Lagos without breaking the bank.
“Lagos earned an 80 per cent quality score for its nightlife scene, and it’s not too expensive to locals either, scoring 48 per cent for affordability,” Time Out noted.
Lagos ranked ahead of several well-known nightlife destinations such as Rotterdam, Manchester, Budapest, and Buenos Aires, further establishing itself as a global hub for entertainment.
However, the city trailed behind five other cities that led the rankings: Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Manila in the Philippines, Berlin in Germany, Guadalajara in Mexico, and Austin, Texas in the United States.
These cities have long-standing reputations for their rich nightlife offerings, making Lagos’ achievement even more significant.
