Greater Accra Region Essentials

The Greater Accra Region serves as Ghana’s cultural and political heart. This collection features monumental landmarks like the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Independence Arch, alongside historic coastal fortifications such as Osu Castle and Ussher Fort. Cultural highlights include the National Museum's ethnographic exhibits and the specialized artistry of the Teshie fantasy coffin workshops. The area is also home to the sprawling Makola Market, the second-largest mosque in West Africa, and the former residence of Pan-Africanist pioneer W.E.B. Du Bois.
