CongoRecent insights shared by travelers who flew to Accra
I spent quite a bit of time just walking around the local markets and trying different street foods. It gets very busy during the day but everyone I met was quite friendly. I'd like to come back when the weather is not quite as intense as this.
Walking around was hard because the humidity was just too much
Enjoyed walking in the evening
Getting around was tough because the traffic is always so bad
The markets were interesting but I got tired of the crowds quickly.
