Abuja's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Aso Rock and Nigerian National Mosque, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Arts and Crafts Village — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.

Abuja is very spread out — you will need transport between sites. The city center is modern and well-organized compared to other Nigerian cities.
