Planning a Trip to Accra

Wow!  At the market (you'll know the one) bring cedes to barter all goods locals will sell as you browse and shop. Is not lie Cote d'Ivoire, where they will crowd you for favors.  More of a British-style way of doing things/English speaking nation here.  Extremely great bargains to be found, but DO NOT SETTLE FOR THE FIRST PRICE GIVEN OR LISTED!  Make a deal, don't be suckered. Keep your fanny pack in the front, and don't show all your money at any one time.  A really good time can turn into a very tragic time in a couple of seconds. As with anywhere where you are unfamiliar, bring your own toilet paper.

arts crafts market in accra is amazing!! you can get an original african djembe for 10 euro's great quality and you can even see how they are made they have beautifull paintings and fabrics, and so much more!!!

be carefull on car parking frot off airport in Accra, planty tieft!!!

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!

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
