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.
