Free things to do in Lagos this weekend.
Lagos has a reputation for being expensive. It is — unless you know where the free weekend activities are. Here are picks that cost nothing to show up to, in Lekki and across the city.
The picks
Free · Lekki
Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge walk
Early morning walking and running along the bridge, with the best skyline view in the city and zero naira spent.
Free · Lekki
Elegushi & Lekki beach strolls
Weekday evenings are quieter and often free at the access points; go for the sunset, not the beach clubs.
Free · Ikoyi / VI
Gallery hopping on the Island
Most Lagos galleries have free entry to exhibitions. Openings usually come with free wine and better conversation.
Free · Island-wide
Community run clubs
Saturday morning run crews across Lekki and Ikoyi welcome newcomers with no fee attached.
Free · Lagos Island
Freedom Park open days
Wander the grounds, catch outdoor performances and readings on free-entry days.
Start with the free one that repeats.
One-off free events are great; a monthly one builds a circle. Silent Book Club Lekki runs every month at Sidebar and costs nothing to join.
