Want to go deeper?
Four hours is best spent on four landmarks — done properly, not rushed. If you’d like to add the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre and the National Museum of Ghana, take the Accra Full-Day instead ($149.99, 7–8 hours, all six landmarks). Or turn it into a hands-on afternoon with a kente weaving class or a pottery & batik workshop — and explore beyond the capital with a full Ghana tour package.
