Accra
Ghana's capital is a city of contrasts — historic Jamestown meets the tech hubs of East Legon. From the fishing boats of Chorkor to the rooftop bars of Osu, Accra pulses with an energy that is unmistakably Ghanaian.
For diaspora travelers, Accra is often the first taste of Ghana — and it doesn't disappoint. The W.E.B. Du Bois Center, Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, and National Museum ground you in history, while the Oxford Street scene, art galleries, and food scene show you where Ghana is headed.
