Lagos has been ranked as the 19th best city to visit in the world, according to Time Out, a British media and hospitality company that publishes guides and magazines.

According to the company, the conclusion was drawn from a survey of over 20,000 city dwellers around the world.

Criteria used to rate the cities include food (quality and affordability), culture, nightlife, how the city makes people feel, strong community vibes, access to green space, historic sites and much more.

In the report published earlier this week, Time Out said the organization synergizes with a research company, Potentia Insight, in order to strengthen the survey’s quality.

South Africa’s Cape Town, Nigeria’s Lagos and Ghana’s Accra were the only African cities that featured on the list.

While Cape Town ranked second, Lagos was 19th, and Accra had the 44th position.

Lagos beats cities like Melbourne, Australia; Naples, Italy; Singapore; Miami, US; Dubai, UAE; Beijing, China.
