Lagos 6
Lagos is a busy destination for anyone come in to do business. You can also stay in some quiet locations for those who want a quiet and reserved place. In lagos you get to see the priviledge and less priviledge places which is common all over the world. traffic in lagos is hectic which i call bumper to bumper.there relaxing centers to which one can visit like festac,victoria island,ikeja, apapa, yaba.it all depends on what you looking for.however for sports centre you can visit ikoyi club tennis or the fha sports centre in festac, national stadium,etc.you want to go religious there are many religious place of worship for you.security wise all not 100% but i will say 68.5% compared to other states even when exposed to sea and border. You can also get continental and local foods, same...

Lisbon 9
Lisbon is a very beautiful city... it has cobblestoned streets, beautiful churches, fairy tale castles, top class restaurants, wonderful cafés, blue skies and lovely beaches and very welcoming people. It is a relatively safe place to walk about, more than adequate transport system and the cake in the icing...very affordable prices. It must be one of the cheapest capital in Europe to visit, where 4 and 5 stars hotels are about a fraction of the price when compared to other European capitals. The food is delicious, and has menus to suit all tastes.Lisbon have something for everyone. Come and visit, you'll never regret it.
