An architectural cocktail

Once a modest port in the 14th Century, Accra saw the arrival of portuguese, dutch, french, danes and british influences. Today, the colonial-style architecture survives side by side with the skyscrapers and the shopping malls of the 20th Century.

Each street, a boiling point

Accra can’t live without its celebrations. The Homowo Festival includes many coloured rituals... including women hugging strangers on the streets! The Makola Market is an absolute must-see, intense and hot like the tropical weather. On Oxford Street, it’s time to taste the waykee (rice and beans). And in Jamestown, the modern Chole Wote Festival is gaining international reputation.

Accra Travel Tips

Accra is best explored by foot, and is safe in most places at day and night – just watch your step! Plenty of taxis and private drivers are available, or you can brave the Tro Tros, the local form of transport on minivans and minibuses that are cheap, but can be extremely crowded. Be sure to arrive in style when you fly to Accra with TAP Air Portugal!
