Hotels in Accra

Staying in Accra

Accra is a lively, friendly capital with a growing food and arts scene. Visit the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, wander the streets of historic Jamestown, browse the stalls at Makola Market and finish the day on Labadi Beach. Further along the coast, the castles at Cape Coast and Elmina tell the story of the transatlantic slave trade.

Direct flights from London Heathrow take around six and a half hours, and there are one-stop routes from other UK airports. If you are searching for cheap flights to Accra, book well ahead for December and Easter, when many people travel to see family. Check visa and yellow fever vaccination requirements before you go.

Best time to visit: November to March is the main dry season and a good time to visit, with December particularly busy for festivals and family visits.
