Abuja Travel Essentials
Nigeria's purpose-built capital — modern architecture, Aso Rock, and political power
Abuja is Nigeria's capital city, purpose-built in the 1980s to replace Lagos. Nestled at the foot of the dramatic Aso Rock monolith, the city is one of Africa's most modern and well-planned. Wide boulevards, the striking National Mosque and National Church (built side by side), and the modernist Eagle Square showcase Nigeria's ambition. While less vibrant than Lagos, Abuja is cleaner, calmer, and the centre of Nigerian political power and diplomacy.
