10 Walking Tours in Accra That You Shouldn't Miss

December 15, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

Stretched along the Atlantic Ocean, Ghana's most populous city boasts glittering beaches, monumental buildings, museums, libraries, galleries, traditional markets and lively nightlife. Accra's architecture reflects its colonial history, with 17th century castles standing alongside modern skyscrapers. A veritable melting pot of cultures, the city's central financial and shopping districts contrast sharply with the less affluent residential areas surrounding the urban core.

My friends and i decided to spend our holidays in Ghana this January and we had a great time. The people in Ghana are really nice with a sweet sense of humour. Our stay in Tamale was amazing i learnt a few words in the native language, the view at the mole national park was amazing. We had a great time touring some communities in Tamale, we had a feel of what its like to be a native of northern Ghana. The food taste good but very spicy lol. One of our memorable moments was when we had to help some of the natives carry water from the stream to their homes and sitting on a motor bike. Our tour guide Zainab made every moment count she is amazing.
