Accra

Accra, the capital city of Ghana, is one of the wealthier cities of Africa, steeped in history and culture. The cityscape thus formed is a beautiful mix of colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers spread across this coastal savannah. The beauty of the city is amplified by the presence of the two lagoons that run through the city flow into the Gulf of Guinea.

Along with being the capital city, Accra is the commercial capital and largest city of Ghana. It also served as the capital of the British Gold Coast, resulting in a large number of colonial buildings and forts spread across the city. One can also trace the history of Ghana's independence through the many historic structures and memorials that are all around the city. The culture of Ghana and its evolution is visible through the many structures as well as the continuous life of the city. Accra, being a lively city, also has one of the best and most happening nightlife experiences you'll find in West Africa, concentrated in the Osu district and the beautiful beachfront locales of the city. The vibrance of the city can be felt during the day as well, among the hustle of the locals trying to make it in Ghana's biggest city. The Makola Market is the place to be to see the many colours of the city amidst all it has to offer. Staying in Accra, through the ups and downs of daily life coupled with its fast-paced life is what makes it Ghana's beating heart.
