Accra Travel Tips for 2026

Visa: Most travelers need a visa for Ghana. US, UK, Canadian, and Australian citizens can apply online at ghana.gov.gh or obtain a visa on arrival at ACC for $150 (single entry, max 30 days). Requirements include a passport valid for at least six months, proof of yellow fever vaccination, a hotel booking, and an onward/return ticket. African Union and ECOWAS passport holders may qualify for visa-free entry.

Local transport: Accra’s metro and bus system, known as Ayalolo, connects major neighborhoods for GHS 2–6 ($0.15–$0.50) per ride. Tickets are available at stations or via contactless card. For more flexibility, use taxis (negotiate price before boarding) or ride-hailing apps (Bolt, Yango) with fares starting at GHS 25 ($2) for short city rides. Tro-tros, shared minivans, are the cheapest but least comfortable option, costing as little as GHS 3–5 ($0.25–$0.40) per trip.

Tipping: Tipping is customary but not mandatory. In restaurants, add 5–10% for good service. Porters and hotel staff appreciate GHS 5–10 ($0.40–$0.80) per service. Taxi drivers do not expect tips, but rounding up the fare is polite.

Currency: Ghanaian Cedi (GHS); currency code: GHS. Major hotels, malls, and restaurants accept Visa and Mastercard. Carry cash for taxis, street food, and local markets. ATMs are widely available in central neighborhoods, but always use machines attached to banks.

Best time to visit: November to March is the dry season, perfect for city exploration, beaches, and festivals. December offers vibrant events but higher hotel rates. For lower prices and fewer crowds, visit in May or June during the light rains, when hotel discounts reach 30–40%. Avoid April and September–October if you dislike humidity and brief afternoon storms.
