Accra, Ghana
Ghana's capital has undergone a cultural renaissance that makes it one of the most exciting cities in Africa to explore on foot. The historic Jamestown district, founded by the British in the 17th century, features Ussher Fort, the Jamestown Lighthouse, and colorful fishing harbors where wooden boats are painted in bold patterns. The Osu neighborhood is the city's nightlife and dining hub, while the Arts Centre offers West Africa's largest craft market. The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honors the father of Ghanaian independence, and the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre connects to the African diaspora. Labadi Beach comes alive on weekends with drumming, dancing, and grilled tilapia.
