Accra Independence Square & Urban Culture

Ghana's capital featuring colonial architecture, government buildings, museums, and vibrant street life.

Accra is a sprawling, chaotic, energetic city. Independence Avenue features government buildings and monuments. The Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum honors Ghana's independence leader. Museums include the National Museum (artifacts, art), the W.E.B. Du Bois Memorial Center, and the Ghana Museum of Natural History. The city's neighborhoods (Jamestown, Osu, Accra) have distinct characters. Street food is excellent; nightlife is vibrant. Accra is overwhelming but rewarding for understanding contemporary West Africa.
