To Accra

Peruse the local markets

Those who visit Accra in August or September are in for a treat. During the Homowo Festival people celebrate for weeks by drumming and dancing in the streets. The twin parade is a unique experience!

Dancing on the beach

To escape the hustle and bustle of the city, visit Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. This serene park was founded in tribute to Ghana’s first president. Visit his bronze statue or the mausoleum where the president and his wife lie in state. Or relax by the splashing fountains. Looking to cool off? Grab a minibus, known as trotro, and head to one of the beaches. The best known beaches are Bojo Beach and Labadi Beach, where musicians, dancers and acrobats offer entertainment. Conclude the day with a drink in one of the fun beach bars.
