Most travellers base themselves in Osu, which has the bars, caf\u00e9s and restaurants, and make trips out from there.\r\n\r\nThe history sits by the sea. Jamestown and Ussher Town, the old Ga fishing quarters, grew up around British and Dutch forts in the 17th century, and the lighthouse, canoe beach and boxing gyms are still there. A short drive east is Independence Square, built for Ghana's independence from Britain in 1957, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, where the country's first president is buried.\r\n\r\nAccra is not a walking city. Pavements come and go, open drains line the roads and the midday heat is intense, so most visitors move around by Bolt, Uber or Yango, which are cheap and easy. Walk in the mornings and late afternoons, and in the neighbourhoods rather than between them.\r\n\r\nThe city is at its best after dark and at weekends. Osu's bars fill up from early evening, Labadi Beach throbs with music on Sundays, and December brings the diaspora home for weeks of concerts and parties.\r\n\r\nTwo or three nights is enough for most people: one day for Jamestown and the independence sites, one for markets, galleries and the beach, and evenings in Osu. With longer, take day trips to the Aburi hills or the beach at Kokrobite.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Airport transfer | Kotoka (ACC) is about 10 km from the centre: Bolt or Yango about GH\u20b530\u201360, official taxis GH\u20b5100\u2013200\r\nGetting around | Ride-hailing for most trips; walk only within a neighbourhood\r\nTransport app | Bolt, Uber and Yango\r\nTap water | Not safe; drink bottled or sealed water\r\nTipping | Not expected at chop bars; around 10% in sit-down restaurants\r\nEmergency numbers | 112, or police 191 and ambulance 193\r\nLanguage | English, plus Twi and Ga\r\nHow long to stay | Two to three nights\r\nBest area to stay | Osu, for food, bars and transport\r\nVisa and health | Visa before you fly and a yellow fever certificate","hw_hub_city_areas_title":"Where to stay in Accra","hw_hub_city_areas_intro":"Accra is spread out, so pick a base and use ride-hailing for the rest.

You will pass the colonial-era lighthouse, which you can usually climb for a small fee, the ruins of Ussher Fort and James Fort, the canoe beach where fishermen land their catch, and the boxing gyms that have produced several world champions. Mornings are best, when the boats come in.\r\n\r\nNext, head east to the independence sites. The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park holds the mausoleum of Ghana's first president, a museum of his life and the spot where he declared independence in 1957. Entry is GH\u20b5100 for non-Ghanaian adults and GH\u20b560 for tertiary students, and it opens daily from 9am (10am on Sundays) to 7pm. Independence Square, with its Black Star Gate and Independence Arch, is a short walk along the seafront.\r\n\r\nMakola Market is a crush of cloth, beads, spices and everything else, and worth an hour if you can handle the crowds. For crafts, the Centre for National Culture, known as the Arts Centre, sells carvings, drums and kente, but bargain hard.\r\n\r\nAccra has a lively contemporary art scene. Look out for gallery openings, and if you are here in August, Chale Wote turns Jamestown and Osu into an outdoor gallery for a week. The W.E.B. Du Bois Centre, the home and burial place of the African American writer, tells the story of the diaspora's links with Ghana.\r\n\r\nFor a break from the heat, the beaches east of the centre, especially Labadi, fill up at weekends, and the University of Ghana campus at Legon is a green, quiet place to wander.","hw_hub_city_do_points":"Jamestown | Best in the morning; go with a local guide\r\nNkrumah Memorial Park | GH\u20b5100 adults, GH\u20b560 students; daily to 7pm\r\nIndependence Square | Black Star Gate and Independence Arch, free to view\r\nMakola Market | Huge central market; watch your bag\r\nArts Centre | Crafts, drums and kente; bargain hard\r\nW.E.B.

Makola is the biggest and busiest, while Osu's Oxford Street is good for people-watching from a roadside stall. In the evenings, the Osu night food stalls are some of the cheapest meals in town, with kelewele and grilled meat for a few cedis.\r\n\r\nThe University of Ghana campus at Legon is open to visitors, with leafy roads and the striking Balme Library. Churches welcome visitors on Sunday mornings, and services with choirs and drums are an experience even if you are not religious; dress smartly.\r\n\r\nIf your trip lines up with the Chale Wote Street Art Festival in August, most of its street art, performances and parades are free.","hw_hub_city_free_points":"Canoe beach | Jamestown at sunrise as the boats land\r\nIndependence Square | Open space on the seafront\r\nOsu night stalls | Cheap kelewele and grilled meat\r\nLegon campus | Shady roads and the Balme Library\r\nSunday services | Choirs and drums; dress smartly\r\nChale Wote | Free street art festival in August","hw_hub_city_free_tag":"free-things-to-do","hw_hub_city_free_more":"All free things to do in Accra","hw_hub_city_food_title":"Waakye at dawn, kelewele at night","hw_hub_city_food_body":"Accra eats from roadside stalls and chop bars, and the best food is rarely in the smartest restaurants. Breakfast is waakye, rice and beans cooked with sorghum leaves, served from a big pot with spaghetti, boiled egg, gari and shito, the black pepper sauce. Lunch is jollof rice, or fufu with light soup or groundnut soup at a chop bar.\r\n\r\nThe Ga coastal dish is kenkey with fried fish and pepper, and Jamestown is the place to try it. Banku with grilled tilapia, eaten with your hands, is a classic evening meal at the grill spots around the city.\r\n\r\nIn the evenings, look for kelewele, cubes of plantain fried with ginger and chilli, and suya-style grilled meat on sticks. Osu's night stalls are the easiest place to find both.\r\n\r\nA plate at a chop bar or street stall usually costs a few euros, while a sit-down meal in Osu, Labone or East Legon costs more like \u20ac8 to \u20ac15, and international restaurants charge European prices.\r\n\r\nDrink bottled water or factory-sealed sachets. Fresh coconuts sold from carts are a cheap, safe way to cool down, and Star and Club are the local beers.

Osu is where most nights start, with bars spilling onto the pavements around Oxford Street, live music in small venues and food stalls until late. It is the most convenient area for travellers and the best place to meet people.\r\n\r\nRepublic Bar and Grill in Osu has long been known for its live highlife and its cocktails made with local spirits, and it is a good place to hear Ghana's classic guitar music. For clubs, Accra's scene moves between Osu, Labone, Airport and East Legon, and Friday and Saturday are the big nights.\r\n\r\nSundays are for the beach. Labadi Beach fills with music, dancing, horse rides and drinks on the sand from the afternoon, and it is a very local, very lively scene.\r\n\r\nDecember is something else. \"Detty December\" brings concerts, parties and festivals almost every night, ending with AfroFuture at the end of the month. Prices rise and beds sell out, so book well ahead.\r\n\r\nTake Bolt, Uber or a registered taxi home rather than walking, even short distances.

Only go with drivers you have booked or found at the official rank, because the UK warns about impostors posing as drivers in arrivals.\r\n\r\nInside the city, ride-hailing is the easiest way to move. Bolt, Uber and Yango all work, fares are low and you avoid haggling. Traffic is the real problem: crossing town can take an hour at peak times, so plan around the morning and evening rush.\r\n\r\nTrotros, shared minibuses, run on every major road and cost a few cedis, with a \"mate\" calling out the destination. They are cheap and cheerful but crowded, and the Australian government advises visitors to avoid commuter vans.\r\n\r\nFor long-distance trips, VIP Jeoun and STC coaches leave from their own terminals. VIP's standard fares from April 2026 are GH\u20b5110 to Cape Coast and GH\u20b5120 to GH\u20b5150 to Kumasi. Trotros to the west leave from Kaneshie, and to the Volta Region and Aflao, on the Togo border, from Tudu.\r\n\r\nFor Togo, STC and trotros run to Aflao in roughly four hours, and you walk across the border into Lom\u00e9.

Mid-range hotels start around \u20ac40 to \u20ac60.\r\n\r\nFood is cheap if you eat local. A chop bar or street-food meal costs a few euros, while restaurants in Osu and East Legon charge \u20ac8 to \u20ac15 or more. A large Star or Club beer in a local bar is cheap; in a cocktail bar, expect European prices.\r\n\r\nGetting around is cheap. Most Bolt rides inside the city cost a few euros, and trotros cost less than a euro.\r\n\r\nSights add up.

Check before you travel.","hw_hub_city_faqs":"How do I get from Kotoka airport to Osu? | Bolt or Yango is the cheapest option, around GH\u20b530 to GH\u20b560 according to a 2026 airport guide, and takes 20 to 40 minutes. Official yellow taxis at the rank charge more, about GH\u20b5100 to GH\u20b5200. Many hostels can arrange a pick-up. Ignore drivers who approach you in arrivals.\r\nHow many days do you need in Accra? | Two or three nights covers Jamestown, the Nkrumah memorial, the markets and a couple of nights out in Osu. Add a day for a trip to Aburi or Kokrobite, then head west to Cape Coast.\r\nIs Accra safe? | Mostly, if you take sensible precautions. Bag snatching and robbery have increased, so carry little, keep your phone out of sight, keep car windows up and don't walk at night. Use Bolt, Uber or registered taxis after dark, and be careful at busy markets and beaches.\r\nWhere should I stay in Accra? | Osu is the easiest base for first-timers, with the most bars, restaurants and ride-hailing cars. Labone and Cantonments are calmer, East Legon is good for longer stays, and Kokrobite is a beach alternative about an hour west.\r\nIs Uber or Bolt better in Accra? | Both work well, and Yango is another option. Bolt is often a little cheaper. Check the plate and driver match the app before you get in.\r\nCan you swim at Accra's beaches? | You can, but the currents along Ghana's southern coast are strong and people drown every year. Swim only where locals swim, ideally where there are lifeguards, and never alone or after drinking.\r\nHow much does a day in Accra cost? | A shoestring day with a dorm bed, local food and ride-hailing costs about \u20ac25 to \u20ac30. A mid-range day with restaurant meals and a paid sight or two is closer to \u20ac55 to \u20ac60.\r\nWhen is the best time to visit Accra? | November to March is dry and sunny. December is the busiest and most fun month, but also the most expensive, so book early. August brings Chale Wote and Homowo; April to June is the wettest period.\r\nHow do I get from Accra to Lom\u00e9? | STC buses and trotros from Tudu run to Aflao on the border in roughly four hours. You walk across into Lom\u00e9, which begins right at the frontier. Get your Togo e-visa from voyage.gouv.tg before you travel.\r\nWhat should I wear in Accra? | Light, breathable clothes for the heat, with shoulders and knees covered for churches, government sites and more traditional areas. Shorts are fine in Osu and at the beach. Bring something smarter for nights out, and never wear camouflage.","hw_hub_city_cta_title":"Say yes to hostels, meet the world","hw_hub_city_cta_body":"Compare Accra hostels: live prices, real reviews and free cancellation on most bookings.
