Kano Travel Guide

Nigeria

Kano is a large inland city in northern Nigeria, with a population of 4,348,481. It is one of the country’s major urban centres and an important base for exploring northern Nigeria.

Most travellers arriving by air use Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (KAN), the airport serving the city. Kano is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not a practical part of a stay here.
