Things to Do in Accra, Ghana 2026 🇬🇭 (Local Expat’s Honest Guide)

Are you looking for the best things to do in Accra, Ghana? This is a complete and honest Accra travel guide from a local expat who actually lives here and experiences this city every day. If you are planning to visit Ghana in 2026, thinking about moving to Accra, or simply curious about West Africa, this video shows you what to see, what to eat, where to stay, and what you should truly understand before you arrive. My name is Thea Emilie. I am Norwegian and have been living in Accra with my Ghanaian family for years. I created this guide because most travel videos only show quick highlights and luxury snapshots. I wanted to show you the real Accra. The beauty. The energy. The culture. The history. The depth. EXPLORING THE HEART AND HISTORY OF ACCRA We begin with the places that shaped Ghana. The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Black Star Square help you understand independence and identity. Then we step into the beautiful intensity of Makola Market and the rhythm of Labadi Beach, where drumming, movement and everyday life collide. THE FOOD THAT DEFINES GHANA You cannot experience Accra without tasting it. We visit authentic chop bars where palm nut soup is cooked over open fire and try local favorites like Ghana Jollof, Fufu, Banku, Red Red and Kelewele. We also visit The Living Room for traditional dishes, live music and true local vibes. In Ghana, food is not just a meal. It is connection. It is culture. WHERE TO STAY AND HOW TO MOVE AROUND I answer the questions I get asked most. Is Accra safe? How do you get around? Where should you stay? I explain how to use Uber and Yango, why Uber Comfort is worth it, how mobile money works, and why areas like Embassy Gardens are ideal for visitors and families. MODERN ACCRA AND NIGHTLIFE Accra is vibrant and evolving fast. We visit Santoku for contemporary Japanese dining, Asana at Kempinski for refined Asian fusion with Ghanaian influence, Sky Bar for skyline views, Afrikana Beach Club for ocean energy, and Exhale Lounge to show the side of the city many people never expect. DAY TRIPS THAT CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE If you only have time for one day trip, Cape Coast is essential. We visit Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle to reflect on the powerful history of the transatlantic slave trade. We walk above the rainforest at Kakum National Park. And we escape to Aburi Botanical Gardens in the mountains for fresh air and calm. Accra is joyful, welcoming and full of life, but it also carries history that deserves respect. My goal with this video is to show both honestly. If you are looking for a real Accra travel guide that goes beyond surface level tourism, this is for you. ✈️ Planning a trip?
