Frequently Asked Questions

Among cargo ships and container vessels, in an area closed to pedestrians. Accra, Ghana's capital, is about 25 kilometres to the west: shuttles, taxis and driver-guides wait at the port gate.
It depends entirely on traffic, which can be heavy. Group your visits and allow a comfortable margin for the return to the ship: that is the real challenge of this call.
Little in tourist terms. The notable fact is geographic: the Greenwich meridian runs through the harbour basins, so ships cross longitude zero as they berth. The substance of this call is in Accra.
Jamestown and its lighthouse in the morning, Makola market around midday, then the National Museum or the monumental squares downtown. Osu and Labadi Beach round off the afternoon well.
The capital's oldest quarter, built around Fort James, established by the British in the seventeenth century, and its red-and-white striped lighthouse. Young people from the neighbourhood offer guided walks that bring the place alive far better than wandering alone.
Yes, but be ready for it: printed cloth, antique beads, smoked fish, cooking pots and car parts are traded in cheerful uproar. Go with a guide, keep the camera discreet, and open with a greeting.
The atmosphere is worth more than the swimming, which is often rough. Families, horse riders, dance troupes and coconut sellers make a continuous spectacle, especially on weekends.
The Ghanaian cedi, available from bank ATMs; US dollars help for larger purchases. English is the official language and widely spoken.
A striped fabric with coded patterns, each combination carrying a message. National Museum guides explain it, and the cloth you passed at the market that morning suddenly reads very differently.
Bottled water, a hat and patience in traffic. Allow a full day for the capital; the immediate surroundings of Tema hold little tourist interest.
