What to do and see in Accra, Greater Accra: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

March 26, 2022 Hana Mouser

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.

Artists Alliance Gallery

Reviewed By annaswannn - Atlanta, United States

Three stories of really wonderful modern art and a few rooms of high quality souvenirs. Honestly, even if you aren't going to buy a painting, I would come here to buy souvenirs over the Art market. Everything is fairly priced, nobody hassles you and you don't have to haggle.

W.E.B. DuBois Center

This is the home, library and final resting place of American-born crusader for social justice, William Edward Burghardt DuBois.

Reviewed By LouisaZ32

Definitely worth visiting if interested in learning something new. This is the home of W.E.B. DuBois at which he lived until his death in 1963. It is now a museum and his burial site. Lots to see- library, burial site, photos, information on prominent black political figures, personal items, graduation gowns and paintings. You can also walk around the grounds. Personal tour given on request. Kingsley was excellent. Fee for entrance and tour is 7 Cedis. Worth checking out the Diaspora African Forum just behind. Informative tour of the exterior given by Clement. Nice way to spend a few hours.
