1-2 days | Whether you are just making a stopover before visiting elsewhere, or if you are here on business and want to explore, you can quickly enjoy the ambience of Accra. Visit your choice of 'must-see' attractions in Accra. These may include markets, museums, the Kwame Nkrumah memorial, the W.E.B. DuBois Centre, the Jamestown lighthouse, Independence Square, beaches or other attractions. |
| 2-4 days | Take a couple extra days to stay in Accra to have a more relaxed experience. Enjoy some nightlife without worrying about your schedule. Spend a day at Labadi Beach and perhaps visit one of the elaborate coffin shops in Teshie or the beautiful campus at the University of Ghana in Legon, 14km north of Accra. | |

5 days or more | This gives you time to soak in the life of Accra. Some people choose to spend their entire holiday in the city, either at a luxury resort, a beachfront guesthouse, or any number of budget accommodations or longer-term rentals.

These could include Aburi botanical gardens, Kokrobite beach, the Shai Hills wildlife preserve, Tetteh Quarshie's original cocoa farm, or the picturesque highland village of Akropong. |
