The city has fascinating scenery and it’s beautiful at first sight; it gives you an amazing feeling \u2013 the kind that makes you feel like you just entered a place full of everyday fairy tale.<\/p>\n

There is no part of the city that you would not see people struggling to survive and pay off their different bills. This is one city that has a lot of smart people who can cut corners to achieve their goals.\u00a0They all want to achieve a slice of the next big thing.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0A Destination for Night Owls<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThe night in Port Harcourt is the beginning of another day for the residents; you cannot miss the vibrant and exciting nightlife in the city. A lot of silent places in the daytime suddenly come alive with music and activities that drag night owls from their homes to hubs, joints and hotels.<\/p>\n

The truth is things are not really cheap but that does not mean that Port Harcourt is notoriously expensive as rumours may have. You would notice that you can still get a lot of affordable things if you really know where to go for them.<\/p>\n
6. The city is well laid-back<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nA lot of people coming here the first time may expect to find the craziness of rushing for buses or cabs. The commuters are calm and enter their choice of transport system in an orderly manner.\u00a0 This trait does not end only with its transportation but in every aspect of lifestyle of the people. We bet you that some Lagosians who are fond of rushing into buses would find this strange.<\/p>\n
7. The Traffic Gridlock<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"traffic,](\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/traffic-Port-Harcourt.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You just cannot miss the terrible traffic gridlock of this city. Some people may prefer Lagos when it comes to traffic gridlock. The reason is they can easily escape it with the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit System or even the new train system that is functioning now. Not in Port Harcourt. You just have to prepare your mind to be patient and literally move a little slower than a snail especially during the rush hours; morning and evening.<\/p>\n
8. Transportation drivers are daredevils<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nImpatience is the watchword for those on the road, apart from the market where everywhere looks rowdy; the major roads of Port Harcourt are filled with daredevils who have no regards to orderliness. You would notice cars comfortably climbing the pavements to run away from any looming traffic.<\/p>\n
