What you need to know before you book your airfare and tickets
Get yourself on a cheap flight to Accra to explore this charming African city. Your cheap flight to Accra will take you to Kotoka Airport, and you can then get a taxi or bus to the city centre. If you want to travel like the locals, then flag down a trotro instead. As the capital of Ghana, you will find lots of plenty of skyscrapers and office buildings in Accra. However, there are also lots of picturesque sights to be found. Jamestown is one of the oldest districts in Accra, and is currently a busy fishing centre. Several colonial-era buildings can also be found here, including a fort, the Customs House, as well as a lighthouse. Head over to Osu for a look at Osu Castle, erected by the Danish in the 17th century. The formidable looking castle still serves as the seat of government today. Stay in Osu to enjoy the vibrant nightlife available here. There are several popular clubs and bars here, as well as lots of restaurants and cafes. Maquis Tante Marie, near the Metro TV tower, serves up local Ghanaian cuisine in a breezy garden. Start with a Tante Marie Margarita, made with tequila, lime and Cointreau. Then, order some chicken or beef stew, perhaps served over a steaming plate of spicy jollof rice, or on top of some fufu.
