14-Day Ghana Travel Itinerary

Akwaaba! Welcome to Accra, Ghana’s vibrant capital city!

Accra is packed with so much to see and do, you’ll wonder why you didn’t visit sooner. This DIY City Tour is your go-to guide for the must-see cultural and historical spots that make Accra tick. I’ve picked out the highlights – ones you’ll find on most city tours – but without the "school field trip" vibe. No boring essays required afterward!

I’ve personally tried all the on-site tours included with admission, and let me tell you, they’re worth every minute. The guides are informative and engaging, and you'll walk away knowing more than you expected. Just don’t forget to carry small bills (think 10 and 20 cedi notes) to tip your guides – trust me, they’ll appreciate it!


Accra City Tour DIY - Ghana

Ghana is an incredible country filled with friendly people and plenty to explore.

While 10 days is a bit of a whirlwind, it’s enough time to get a solid taste of Ghana—culture, history, nature, and a bit of adventure all wrapped up between Accra and Cape Coast. I’ve designed this itinerary to strike the right balance between activities and downtime, so you can get the most out of your trip without feeling totally wiped out by the end.

I’ve also organized each day’s activities in a way that makes the most sense for efficiency (and to avoid too much time stuck in Accra’s traffic). Trust me, a little strategic planning goes a long way here.

I don’t recommend a lot of specific restaurants unless they’re near the stops and I can vouch for them. Ghana has plenty of hidden gems when it comes to casual dining, so it’s best to go with the flow and choose a spot close by when you get hungry. Just don’t wait until you’re starving—food prep in Ghana can take a bit of time. That said, street food and chop bars (local eateries with ready-made dishes) are great, fast options when you’re on the go.

There are certain activities where you'll need to hire a driver. I can easily recommend Junior. He knows everywhere and everyone and he's a great driver. His specialty is Cape Coast, but he's very well-versed in Accra, too. Just call or WhatsApp him to make arrangements: +233 024 473 6171.

If Junior isn't available, just ask at your hotel or hit up a Bolt driver that you like and think will give you a fair price, (always negotiate first).

Two apps you’ll want to download for your trip

Bolt - It’s like Uber, but local, and it works in both Accra and Cape Coast.
Pro Tip: Always opt to pay in cash when using Bolt. Trust me on this – drivers are much more motivated to show up when they know there’s cash waiting at the end of the ride!

Glovo – Food delivery in Accra. If your hotel doesn’t have a restaurant and you just don’t feel like going out, this is a good way to get fed. It can be slow, though, so order early.

10 Amazing Days in Ghana - Accra and Cape Coast

Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park & Mausoleum

Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park is a must-see for anyone interested in Ghana’s history.

Kwame Nkrumah wasn’t just any leader – he played a key role in Ghana’s independence and was a major advocate for Pan-Africanism. His vision has shaped Ghana and continues to inspire African leaders today.

The museum and memorial park offer a great glimpse into Ghana’s political past. Hopefully, all the fountains will be flowing when you visit (a couple small ones were dry during my stop), but the grounds are still beautiful. The tour is interesting, and it’s a solid stop if you want to dive deeper into the country’s independence story.
 
If you're going to Abajo or the National Cultural Center next (they're in the same location), there's no need to call a Bolt. It's a short, 5-miinute walk from the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial to the National Cultural Center. Just be sure to exit through the gate near the fountains and head to your right.
