Description
Explore the fascinating city of Accra with us on 1 or 2 day cultural and historical expedition tour of the colonial city of Accra.
Welcome to Accra, the largest capital city of Ghana. Accra holds the administrative and economic capital of Ghana, housing the seat of the government and its agencies.
Modern-day Accra came into existence through the amalgamation of distinct settlements around British James Fort, Dutch Ussher Fort, and Danish Christiansborg. This merger has left the city with a captivating colonial architectural landscape and remarkable landmarks. Accra served as the capital of the British Gold Coast from 1877 to 1957 before Ghana gained its independence and has since transformed into a modern metropolis.
The city’s architecture reflects this rich history, encompassing a spectrum from colonial structures like Christiansburg Castle to modern skyscrapers like Villaggio and apartments, highlighting the resilience of its people.
