Accra Tourism

Accra is the capital and industrial and cultural center of the Republic of Ghana, West Africa. The city is in the country's south, on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Its architecture combines colonial, traditional, and modern cultures, giving it a distinct aspect.

Tourists come from around the world to see the cultural and historical attractions, the flamboyant African people, the rich and unusual traditions, and the comfy beaches. However, not long ago, Accra was only a large commerce city. The tourism industry in Accra has only recently begun to flourish. But that hasn't stopped it from reaching new heights.
