Cape Coast Travel Guide

You have to go to the Kakum National Park. There you have to do the canope walk. Walking on the top of the trees, 30m high.

Be sure to visit the Cape Coast Castle. Built by the Portugal in 1600's.

When you go to Elmina definitely check out the fish harbor market. But keep you camera away or at least hidden because the locals don't like you taking pictures there. It makes sense though. You wouldn't want your daily life to be viewed as an attraction either.

A visit to Elmina (or the Ghanean coast for that matter) is not complete without a visit to the Elmina Slave Fortress. The fortress was used by the Dutch to trade slaves to their various colonies in from the 16th century. The guides are well informed and a visit is most definately chilling, impressive and something you will not easily forget.

Don't dress up, don't drive there yourself (but use public transportation = a tro tro), and don't stay at a luxurious hotel. Go shoe string on this one.

you just have to visit cape coast castle!!! its amazingly confronting how slaves were transported out of the country

This is a fishing village.  Bring cedes to barter and purchase fruits, and other goods locals will sell as you tour the slave castle sites. Is not like Cote d'Ivoire, where they will crowd you for favors.  More of a British-style way of doing things/English speaking nation here. As with anywhere rural, bring your own toilet paper. Expect to spend at least 3 hours in the castle.

Make sure to visit the slave castles and beautiful beaches in the area. Also there are beautiful craftsman in the area

Ta malariamedisinen din!! Ikke spis på resturanten ute med slavefortene, maten er ikke særlig god. Sjansen for matforgiftning er ganske tilstede værende.

A chill place, friendly open locals, nice beaches, very cheap to stay and eat.
