Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter Ghana. You can apply at a Ghanaian embassy or consulate in your country. Some countries are exempt, so check with the Ghana Immigration Service before traveling. You’ll also need a valid passport and a yellow fever vaccination certificate.

The best time to visit Accra is during the dry seasons from November to April when the weather is warm but not too humid. Avoid the rainy seasons (May-June and September-October) if you want to explore comfortably.

The official currency is the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). While some hotels and large businesses may accept USD, it’s best to exchange money at forex bureaus or use ATMs for local transactions.

Accra is generally safe for tourists, but like any city, you should take precautions. Avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, keep your valuables secure, and use reputable transport services.
