Abuja is Nigeria's purpose-built capital, a young city of broad boulevards and green hills laid out in the 1980s at the country's geographic center. It feels calmer and more orderly than Lagos, with the granite dome of Aso Rock looming over parks, monuments, and the striking National Mosque and National Christian Centre. Set out to explore its wide open spaces and the wild rock country just beyond the city limits!

When to go

The dry season from November to March is the most comfortable time, with warm sunny days and cooler evenings, though the Harmattan haze can dull the skies in December and January. The rainy season from April to October brings lush green hills but heavy downpours and humid heat. Abuja sits at altitude, so nights are generally milder than in coastal Lagos.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

There are no nonstop flights from Québec City or Montréal, so plan on at least one connection. The most common routings go through a European hub such as Paris, Brussels, or Frankfurt, or through a Gulf gateway like Doha or Istanbul, with the Atlantic crossing usually flown overnight. Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport sits about 40 minutes from the city center by road.

What to see and do

Circle Aso Rock and the surrounding parks
Visit the National Mosque and National Christian Centre
Relax in Millennium Park
Take a day trip to Zuma Rock outside the city

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Nigerian naira, and cash is still king for markets and taxis while cards work in hotels and malls. Getting around is easiest with ride-hailing apps such as Bolt, Uber, and inDrive, which are cheaper and less stressful than negotiating with street taxis; agree on any taxi fare before you set off. English is the official language, so communication is straightforward. Abuja is calmer than Lagos, but keep valuables out of sight, use registered rides at night, and check current advice before visiting areas outside the city.

Entry requirements and health

e-Visa required

You'll need a visa for this one, but the whole thing is done online before you go. Apply a little ahead of your trip and travel with the approval in hand.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required to get in, so don't skip that one. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
