Abuja is Nigeria's purpose-built federal capital - a modern, planned city very different in character to Lagos, with wide tree-lined boulevards, impressive government architecture and a growing reputation as a business and diplomatic hub. For the large Nigerian diaspora community in the UK, Abuja is a key destination for family visits, business travel and government matters. Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) is served via connections through Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines.
Abuja has two main seasons: the dry season (November to March) which is the most comfortable time to visit, and the wet season (April to October). December and January are peak demand months due to the festive season. The cheapest months are typically September and October. Total flight time via Addis Ababa is around 10 to 12 hours.
Abuja is home to the Nigerian National Mosque, Nigerian National Christian Centre, the Aso Rock formation, and Millennium Park. Jabi Lake Mall and the Transcorp Hilton area offer modern shopping and dining. For UK-based Nigerians, Abuja is frequently the preferred entry point for business meetings, visa applications and family gatherings.
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) is located 40 km west of central Abuja. The journey into town takes around 45 to 60 minutes by taxi. Pre-book a reputable transfer through your hotel.
