Accra Travel Guide: 1,200+ Hotels and 390+ Tours, Ghana

About Accra

Accra brings together Atlantic beaches, historic quarters and lively markets and serves as Ghana’s coastal capital on the Gulf of Guinea.

Street life ranges from Makola Market’s crowded stalls to Osu’s restaurants, music venues and late-night energy. History takes shape around the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, Black Star Gate and Jamestown Lighthouse, while Labadi Beach brings the coast into the city.

Local plates include jollof rice, banku with tilapia, kenkey and waakye. November through February suits a city break, with the W.E.B. Du Bois Center adding another cultural stop in Cantonments.
