The town is home to Kotoka International airfield, which is able to house even the biggest of aircrafts. Hiring an auto or SUV is simple to do, as many of the bigger Accra hotels offer this service. Drivers are often excellent guides and can explain the different attractions in detail.

Taxis are an alternate way to go about Accra, but you have to be conscious of the different types there are. Many taxis are not metered, you may arrange a fee with the driver before you leave but some taxis are metered, and they have an inclination to be rather more costly. These can be a particularly productive way to go thru Accra and a technique to hit all of the most desired traveller spots.

On your sightseeing tour, these are some of the not to miss attractions.

The museum also boasts many pieces from all over Africa including Zulu wooden statues, bronze heads from Nigeria and carvings from the Congo.
