Ghana Abuja - Cheap flights

As for the city designed at the end of the 20th century, Abuja has balance between architecture and nature. That is why it has a few huge parks and green areas. The biggest park is Millenium Park, designed by Manfredi Nicoletti. It was officialy opened in 2003 by Queen Elizabeth.

The most futuristic building is… a ship in the city’s centre. The building looks like a ship in an harbor – concrete linchpins look like wharfing ropes, whereas round windows bring to mind ship portholes. Lower floors are wider, you can see clearly lines of division of the ship’s level. There are even two towers, reminding chimneys. Luxury apartments, shops and offices are located in the building. More prestigious building is probably only the presidential palace. It is worth to visit. Sightseeing is whole year round and free of charge.

Do you want to rest like citizens of Abuja? Visit The Dome, the entertainment centre, where whole families spend time. You can do bowling, billiard or lose money playing on slot machines or go crazy in a casino. What do you choose?

Time for sport! Practically from ever spot in Abuja you can notice Aso Rock, a 400-metres high monolith, around which the city grows. Trips to its peak with a guide are organized every day. Be careful though to choose a path adjusted to your needs – some of them requires climbing on smooth, vertical rock.

Where to eat? Look for “bush bar”. These are situated around the city small bars with plastic tables, where you can eat quickly, tasty and cheaply. Popular dishes in such spots are catfish from grill, smoked bulbs of yarn or soup from egusi, seeds of cucurbitaceous plants.
