Getting there & around
From the airport
Accra’s main passenger airport is ACC, Accra International Airport, formerly Kotoka. There is no airport train or metro. For a first arrival, use a hotel transfer, ride-hailing app such as Uber, Bolt or Yango, or an airport taxi; agree the fare before leaving if not app-based. ACC to Osu/Ridge/central Accra is usually about 20-40 minutes, but can be longer in peak traffic. Airport City hotels are about 5-10 minutes away. Public buses or trotros are possible from nearby roads but are not the easiest with luggage.

Around the city
Accra has no metro. Most visitors combine ride-hailing, taxis and short walks within areas like Osu or Labone. Trotros are cheap shared minibuses but routes are informal and stops can be hard for newcomers. Aayalolo/QBS buses run on limited corridors such as Accra-Amasaman, Ofankor, Adentan and Kasoa, but they are not a full tourist network. There is no must-get tourist transit pass; carry small cash, confirm destinations before boarding, and allow extra time for traffic.
As of 2026-06-20 — confirm current schedules/fares with the operator.

Before choosing where to stay
Where to Base
The central business district and Osu area are prime locations for hotels, offering proximity to commerce, dining, and nightlife. Jamestown provides a historic atmosphere near the original forts, while other municipal districts within the Greater Accra area offer quieter residential options for those seeking a more relaxed stay away from the city center.
Getting Around
Traffic in Accra can be heavy, so allow ample time for commuting. Taxis and ride-hailing services are the primary modes of transport. Since the capital area is divided into multiple independent municipal districts, travel times between zones can vary significantly. It is essential to plan routes in advance and account for potential congestion when moving between different parts of the metropolitan area.
Best Season
Accra enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round. The dry season, typically from November to March, offers less rainfall and comfortable conditions, making it the ideal time for sightseeing and outdoor activities. While the rainy season sees more precipitation, it attracts fewer tourists, potentially offering a more serene experience for budget-conscious travelers willing to navigate occasional showers.
