best places to visit in ghana
Accra
Accra is the capital and largest city of Ghana, located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Guinea, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean. This capital city is full of character and radiates friendliness.
Whether you’re there as a solo traveler or with a family, on your big annual holiday, or there for business, Accra has something to offer. What tourists really love are the many beaches surrounding the city – particularly Labadi Beach. Accra is home to the National Museum where you’ll find many of the country’s historical treasures. You can also visit the National Theatre, International Trade Fair, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial, Independence Square, and W.E.B. Dubois Centre.
Jamestown
Located directly east of the Korle Lagoon, Jamestown is one of the oldest districts of Accra, Ghana, and emerged as a community around the 17th century. Jamestown is sometimes referred to as a ‘tough but moving neighborhood of Accra’.
There’s a ton of history to discover as both the British and the Portuguese left behind a cultural and architectural legacy. The Jamestown community is close-knit and the atmosphere is lively. There aren’t many markers to explain the context of the history that you’re seeing, so a guide is a welcome addition, but certainly not necessary. The neighborhood is a cross between rural and urban and is famous for turning out incredible national boxers.
