DAO Says: It is not just the staff who are scum. The food is s.hit as well. The Pataase is a nice looking restaurant owned by a hotel chain I will never use now. It has a nice outside, covered dinning area that should be ideal for a romantic meal or just a few beers. Service was slow...

Pieter11 Says: A very easy, but relatively expensive way to get to Accra and away is by flying with Antrak Air. This small airline has daily flights between Accra, Kumasi and Tamale.For a trip from the capital to Tamale in the North it makes a difference of 15 hours by STC bus for US $...
georeiser Says: Tro-Tro's is the cheapest way of public transportation in Accra. It's a shared taxi on a fixed route and you can get off where you want. Toyota Hiace is the most used vehicle, but similar minivans are also used. The car has a driver and a man who collect the money and shout...
Kotoka Accra Int. Airport (ACC)

georeiser Says: Local city bus in Accra is a cheap, but slow way of transportation. Many of the buses are wrecks, loaded with passengers. Unlike the Trotro's you can not leave the bus where you want on the route, but have to wait to bus station.
georeiser Says: Accra has a lot of bus- and trotro stations which are used for to certain operators or destinations. It's not easy to find your way there, and you should ask a local trusted person if you want to drive to another city.Some major stations:Neoplan Station, Ring Road...

georeiser Says: Taxis in Accra are easy to recognize with their yellow color on each side of the car. In theory they use a meter to calculate the fare, but in real life you should always settle the price before you enter the car. A short trip should costs from 3 cedis, like within the...
georeiser Says: Baby Shop in the National Culture Center is shop where you can buy local craft, handmade masks, necklase or sculptures. It is not a baby shop. Local craft, handmade masks, necklase or sculptures The owner is a funny man and gives you the lowest price in the center.
georeiser Says: Koala shopping mall in the Osu district of Accra is mentioned several times on the web. Actually it's nothing there for tourists besides of beeing an exclusive mall for the rich middle class. This shop is more expensive than other places.
georeiser Says: Accra is a warm place. Cotton clothing as synthetic fabrics are too uncomfortable in the heat. Females should dress for example in a long wrap around skirt and blouse. Males should wear long trousers and a shirt. Casual clothes are acceptable for leisure. The shoes should...
Ghanesian are loudmouthed people
