Frequently asked questions
About Abuja
Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria, located in the center of the country. The official currency used in Abuja is the Nigerian Naira. The city is known for its modern architecture, including the Aso Rock, a 400-meter monolith that overlooks the city. Abuja is a bustling metropolis with a mix of government buildings, embassies, and commercial areas. The city also offers a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene, with museums, art galleries, and traditional markets to explore.
When to visit
The best time to visit Abuja is during the dry season, which runs from November to March. During this time, the weather is cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities. The rainy season, from April to October, can bring heavy downpours and humid conditions. However, if you enjoy lush green landscapes, visiting during the rainy season can be a unique experience.
Getting around
Getting around Abuja is relatively easy, with options including taxis, ride-sharing services, and public buses. Taxis are readily available and can be hailed on the street or booked through apps. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Bolt are also popular and convenient for getting around the city. Public buses, known as 'Danfos', are a budget-friendly option for transportation within Abuja.
Traveller tips
When visiting Abuja, be sure to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or government buildings. It's also important to stay hydrated due to the city's hot climate, so carry a water bottle with you. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas and keep your belongings secure. Lastly, try to learn a few basic phrases in Hausa, the local language, to communicate with locals.
