About the region

Greater Accra is Ghana's capital region and its busiest. In Accra, the old fishing quarter of Jamestown has its lighthouse and colonial-era buildings, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honours the leader who took Ghana to independence in 1957. Markets, food and music fill the city, and there are beaches along the coast. It suits first-time visitors and anyone with only a day or two.
