"Independence Square is one of Accra’s most iconic spots.
The site includes both Black Star Gate and Independence Arch, and it’s where major military parades and official events take place. The rest of the time? It’s the perfect place to snap some epic selfies to show you’ve truly been to Ghana. Let’s be honest—if you haven’t been here, have you really been to Accra?
And if you're up for it, climb the 60 steps to the top of Black Star Gate for a cool view of the city. A 10 cedi tip to the folks downstairs keeps the place clean and safe, so don’t forget to show them some love!
