- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €55 - €70. Metered daytime fare from Faro airport to central Lagos. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals and insist the meter runs, or book via an app like Bolt, Uber or Free Now for a fixed fare in advance.
- Best alternative: EVA bus line 16 from Faro airport to Lagos, arriving at the central bus terminal. (€10)
- Buy tickets from the driver or at ticket machines and validate them in the onboard validator after boarding. Keep the validated ticket for the whole trip as inspectors can ask to see it. Fine without a valid ticket: €60.
- Rounding up the bill is appreciated but not expected. Leave 5 to 10 percent in sit-down restaurants when service was good, small change for taxis, and nothing is required in cafés or bars.
- Cover and bread charges are uncommon in Lagos but some tourist-focused restaurants add them without asking. Ask whether a cover or bread charge applies before ordering and check the menu shows prices before you sit down.
- Use bank-attached ATMs and always choose to be charged in euros, declining dynamic currency conversion offered by the machine. Independent ATMs in tourist areas often carry high withdrawal fees; check the fee warning on screen before confirming.
