How to get in Benin City
The city has an airport and there are a few flights to and from Lagos. Not many airlines have their presence in the state so coming in by road is a very good option.
One thing Benin is known for is its road transporters, so a visitor can come in the city from almost any city in the country.
From Lagos it takes about 4hours to get to Benin, but be informed Its best to travel during the day because the bad roads make the journey a lot longer and stressfull. From Port-harcourt, its about 4hrs and 30minutes to Benin. The journey from Port-harcourt is a lot easier because there are better roads on that stretch.
One thing you should know is that the roads in Benin-city are not very good and coupled with the bad driving habits of commercial bus drivers, it is not surprising to have a lot of hold-ups and traffic jams in some parts of the city especially the Uselu market area.
