Benin City is served by Benin Airport (BNI), which handles domestic flights from Lagos and Abuja. The airport is basic but functional.
By road, Benin City sits at a major junction in southern Nigeria and is well connected to Lagos (about 5 hours by car on the Benin-Ore Expressway), Abuja, and other cities. Long-distance buses operated by companies like God Is Good Motors and ABC Transport run regular services from Lagos and other major cities. The main motor park at Uselu serves as the hub for intercity transport. Road quality varies, and journey times can be unpredictable due to traffic and checkpoints.
