Accra People & Culture

Be prepared to find one of the nicest people in this world!, people here is really kind and the food and transportation quite cheap. 

Stay away from touristy places like Osu. Veer towards the places that seem more crowded and like there aren't so many tourists and more locals. There are the places where you will find the true locals and the people who are willing to help you find your way just because they are kind. However, in places like central Accra, be very very aware of pickpockets and people selling things on the streets illegally. You can get in trouble for this!

Noisy and very busy city but great people.

Make sure you stay in a decent hotel Watch and be careful what you eat Always have the injections before you go Enjoy and love the people

Not so attractive! Typical big city of Western Africa; we visited one museum with a Nigerian artist who had left when we wanted to buy some of his art.
Be warned of people claiming to be sick, who need insulin etc.

This actually applies to all of Ghana- take ear plugs!  Good ones! Maybe a couple of pairs incase you lose one!  Seriously, Ghana's great and the people are fantastic but they like their music LOUD. So loud the sound distorts and it makes windows shake.  Take ear plugs, you won't regret it!

didn't really like the place, way to much traffic
head down to one of the smaller places by the sea as fast as you can, like Tema
