2025 Accra Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

I have been in Accra, Ghana 🇬🇭 for several months, and this is my first time visiting Labadi Beach Hotel. The food prices are reasonable, and the taste is acceptable. The three dishes in the picture, along with drinks 🥤 and ice cream 🍦, cost around 600 cedis . The hotel has a fenced private beach that is relatively clean. The public beach outside is okay, but the surrounding area is a bit chaotic with various hotels, restaurants , food stalls, souvenir vendors, and horse-riding services. There is a group of local kids playing football ⚽, which adds a lively atmosphere. However, there are sewage pipes from nearby residential areas directly discharging into the sea, making it unsuitable for swimming. There are three swimming pools, including a children's area and a deep-water area. 👱‍♂️ Adults pay 150 cedis , and 👦 children pay 100 cedis (this also includes access to the private beach). Almost all high-end hotels in Ghana 🇬🇭 charge non-resident guests a fee to use the swimming pool, which is different from Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮, where most high-end hotels allow free use of the pool as long as you dine there. The hotel also offers fishing 🎣 for $15 per session, but you need to bring your own fishing rod, and you must release the fish after catching them. I didn't go swimming; I was reading Trevor Noah's 'Born A Crime' the whole time. He writes about his difficult and impoverished past in a brilliant and humorous way. His insights on crime are similar to what I read in NHK's 'Women in Poverty.' Highly recommended!

#summerbreak This summer, let’s visit Jamestown! Visiting Jamestown in Ghana is a captivating journey through history and culture. Located in Accra, this vibrant neighborhood is steeped in rich heritage. As you explore its narrow streets and colorful houses, you'll encounter a vibrant community deeply connected to their roots. The iconic lighthouse stands tall, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Jamestown also holds the poignant history of the transatlantic slave trade, evident in its historic landmarks like the Ussher Fort and James Fort. You can immerse yourself in the rhythms of daily life, witness traditional fishing practices, and engage with friendly locals. The energy and resilience of Jamestown's inhabitants make it an inspiring and enlightening destination for travelers seeking an authentic Ghanaian experience.

#summerbreak 🌍 Sustainable travel? Welcome to the BIGGEST Second hand market in the world‼️ Makola Market, a bustling open-air market, is a sensory overload with its colorful stalls, aromatic spices, and lively atmosphere. It's a treasure trove of traditional fabrics, fresh produce, and local crafts. It has lots of secondhand goods for travelers who wants to do eco-travel. Just a short walk away is Kantamanto, a sprawling second-hand clothing market where you can find unique fashion gems at affordable prices. Navigating the narrow alleys and haggling with friendly vendors adds to the excitement. Exploring Makola and Kantamanto is a cultural adventure that showcases the dynamic spirit of Accra and its vibrant markets. It is very important for us travelers to learn that a lot of our clothing waste in developed countries contribute to the problem nowadays in Accra.

In Accra, there are plenty of beach front restaurants like Sandbox, Rehab, the resorts, or Ozzie's. Ozzie's is probably the best bang for your buck. It's empty on weekdays, so you can sit directly on the beach or on the upper deck. Prices are great, and so are the vibes. This is us at about 10:30 AM on a Saturday with the whole place to ourselves. Enjoy! #tripblazers #ghana #accra #travel #photography #fallingforfall

This is a very beautiful garden in Accra, Ghana. It is great for family picnics or romantic picnics. There are activities like canoeing, canopy walk, high rope course, obstacle challenges, bird watching, fishing and cycling… there is also a junior rope course and a playground for the children. There is a price for each of these activities. I’ll advise you to send your own food especially if you’re going there on an ordinary day..because there aren’t a lot of food vendors …probably because I went there on an ordinary Saturday… it may be different on holidays and special occasions. #ghana #accra #legon #picnic #garden #adventure #tripaway

#tripaway always happy to be on the shores for refreshments. A happy day it was. #triplocal

House Party Go-Karts, located close to Bojo Beach on the Kokobite beach road is a fun place to go karting. Had a nice time with my friend. It costs 40ghc per person for just 8 minutes on the track ( which was too short for us 😆) ... It was a very short but fun experience. They also have an arcade games station and a restaurant. #gokart #thrill #arcade #games #ghana #bojo #funride #unforgettableexperiences #triplocal

Aburi Botanical Gardens is the perfect place for family picnics and activities such as cycling with friends ... such a beautiful garden... You may have to bring your own food and refreshments though because there aren’t enough food vendors around.. #naturalwonders #ghana #aburi #gardens #springholiday #triplocal

Visited the independence arch. There’s not much to see here but you can ask to climb to the top of the arch. Nearby is the independence square and the National Stadium. The independence arch is also about a 1km walk from the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. #ghana #accra IG: bestmaryever_

I love labadi beach!

#travel 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities:💞Reasons to Recommend:“Woke up in one city, got lost in another, and found a piece of myself somewhere in between. Every mile tells a story—today’s was unforgettable.”Travel has a magical way of teaching you things no classroom ever could. I just returned to my hotel room after a long day of exploring, and even though I’m physically tired, my heart is so full. Today, I wandered through winding streets where every corner told a story, tasted flavors I couldn’t pronounce but absolutely loved, and watched the sun dip behind a skyline I had only seen in pictures.

Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was one of the pioneers and leaders who fought for the independence of Africa from colonial rule. He was the first president of the republic of Ghana after Ghana's independence in 6th March 1957. Sadly Nkrumah died in exile after he was overthrown in a coup. His remains are kept in this fine mausoleum of which today serves as a national and historical site for Africans and non Africans far and beyond. It's worth visiting when you get to come to Ghana in west Africa. #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #historicallandmarks #localguides

#4月好去地方2025 Accra, the capital of Ghana, is a place where modernity meets traditional culture. Visit Independence Square and the National Museum to learn about Africa's colonial history and independence movements. The traditional handicrafts and colorful fabrics at the market showcase the creativity and resilience of the Ghanaian people. Sample local dishes such as spicy meat stew and cassava, and learn about the history and culture behind the food. Accra allowed me to see the vitality and hope of the younger generation in Africa.

Gorgeous sites
