Essentials in Accra

National Museum: The first stop every visitor to Accra should make is at the National Museum. Ghana's history is well laid-out and features exhibitions on culture and Africa's prehistory and the interesting history of the country's currency.

Osu Castle: Slightly out of place is Osu Castle, built by the Danes in the seventeenth century. It was used essential as a storehouse for slaves before shipping them but was turned to the presidential palace once independence was won.

Jamestown: Jamestown is the oldest part of Accra and is still used as the city's fishing centre. Just a short distance from Independence Arch, many visitors enjoy the busy streets, the lighthouse and the local culture here. Find a local guide to show you the hidden treasures here including the excellent views of the harbour.
