Accra (Tema), Ghana

As Ghana’s current capital and most populous city, and the former capital of the British colonial Gold Coast, Accra’s importance extends from the past to the present. This bustling city’s history can be seen in its architecture, with 19th-century colonial-style homes and forts nestled amongst Accra's skyscrapers, colorful markets and independence monuments. Beyond its infrastructure, Accra hosts stunning natural scenes, including its beaches and the impressive Aburi Botanical Gardens.
