Lagos Travel Forum

We have reservations at Casa Paula hotel (studio and 1 bedroom apartments) for a week in June/July. It is located in the town of Lagos. It looks good from the bookings.pt website, but the information is very limited. I have emailed the place with questions, but they only answer some of them. Please send any info/optinions, etc. on Casa Paula (not CASA PAULA I, II, III).

Hello,

My husband and I are looking for an apartment (not too expensive) in Lagos for 4 months (Feb to May 2006). We want to avoid larger built up tourist area. What is the best way to find one? Do local have apartment to rent? How much does it cost to rent for 4 months?
Also, my husband is an artist (drawing & painting). Where can we meet other artists in Lagos?
Thank you

I am off to Lagos at the end of Sep. I would like to do some fly fishing Sea, river and lakes while I am there. Are there any good spots to try. Also does any one know if the fishing shop in the town stocks fly fishing gear? I think the one down by the harbour only specialises in sea gear.

Mail me!!

Thanks

Hey i was just wondering about camping in lagos or just outside of lagos.. meeting up with one of my buddies now and hes going to bring my tent.. camping in a site or camping for free on a beach.. any ideas

I am holidaying in Lagos this year, I have booked a flight & hotel package deal which does not include airport transfers. Can anyone tell me if there a bus service / train service that runs from Faro airport to Lagos centre? It would presumably be much cheaper than getting a taxi. Thanks.

hi there
having decided im definately going to work somewhere warm this summer the suggestion of Lagos keeps comming up so i thought i would ask you all who have worked out there been out there what it is like? Ive been on several familiy holidays to albefura but never to Lagos so i dont really know much about it. Ive read it can get quite windy how windy are we talking? windy for wind surfing or blow you away when walking down a street windy?
also since i am probably going to end up working in a bar at the eve i wondered what positions are available for during the day time as im pretty sure that after 2 weks or so i will be bored of lying on the beach all day and also ive been told the wages arnt that good so in order to go home with some money for uni i would probably need somethin else besides waitressing. I would be looking for something outside during the day but not too bothered what. I also wondered what the protugese law/rules are with regards to street vendors as i make my own jewellry and was thinking this could be a good selling point during the tourist season i could set up on the beach front etc but dont want to end up in big trouble for this so if anyone knows of any problems i may have on this front plz let me know,
Basically im just after some general info on Lagos and whether i would enjoy spending 4 months there this summer or whether its the kind of place that your ok for a month or so but after that it gets a little boring.
Im not into the huge party scene and the last thing i want to do is go somewhere like ibiza where it is over run with brits drinking and throwing up and generally making a bad name for themselves but i do want friendly people a good nightlife and stuff to do on days off besides lie on a beach.

and one last question where can i learn to surf in portugal i heard there was a beach not too far from lagos?

thanks for help :)

I am a 20 year old wide eyed Canadian kid who is looking for a good time in a new atmosphere, making for some good stories along the way. I am leaving Vancouver Island on April 4th 2005. I am planning on taking a month of backpacking europe before i finish in Lagos. I am hopefully going to find some work preferably in a bar or a resourt. I know a few other people have been asking this aswell but i was wondering if it would be possible for me to get work. I also applyed for a working visa as of yesterday. Im not planning on leaving Lagos, or Portugal in general with money i just wanted to prolong my trip. Any way long story short i just was wondering if somebody could give me some information about living, working, and playing possabilities for a Canadian kid in a new environment.. Thank You..

Hi there,

I am wondering where to get information about how to travel between Lagos and Lisbon. Are there any trains or buses running?

I need to go to Lagos from Lisbon the 31th of July and to return to Lisbon from Lagos in the morning on the 5th of August (my plane back to Norway leaves Lisbon at around 2 pm).

I would appreciate any reply.

Thanks guys!

I am arriving in Lagos on July 17, 2004. I have lists of some possible pensoes or residencias in Lagos and Tavira, but after much searching, I have been unable to find websites with web links or e-mail addresses for them. Does anyone know of a good website with this information? I would prefer to book in advance, rather than take my chances when I get there!

Thanks for your help.

My wife and I are going to be staying in Salema from June 2 through June 23.

My wife is taking coumadin (blood thinner) and is required to get a blood test done every week.
The test that must be done is called a "Pro Time" test.

Can you direct me to a doctor, laboratory or hospital in Lagos that can help me?
An email address would be wonderful. If not a telephone number would be OK.

THANK YOU.
Obrigado
