When it comes to planning for honeymoons, many couples rarely even think of having their honeymoon in Nigeria. On the rare occasion that they do think of having a honeymoon in Nigeria, they only think of hyped places, especially Lagos and Abuja.

If you are planning to have your honeymoon in Nigeria, you don’t have to limit yourself to Lagos and Abuja alone as there are several places all around the country where you can have a wonderful honeymoon. One such overlooked place is Port Harcourt, Rivers State. 

If you’re interested in having your honeymoon in Port-Harcourt, then here are some activities that you should consider.

Eat at Bole Street

What is Port Harcourt without bole? Bole (buh-leh) is arguably the most popular food in Port Harcourt, and it would be a crime to visit Port Harcourt without trying some authentic Port Harcourt bole accompanied with fried and grilled fish. If you are not a fan of bole, you can also try other available dishes.
