Day 2: The Old Accra Tour - Historical & Heritage Sites including UNESCO protected sites
Stop At: James Town Lighthouse, Cleland Road, Accra Ghana
One of the most historic places to be in Accra is James Town.
A visit to James Town unveils the rich history of the indigenous of Accra and the tight knit spirit with which families and neighbors coexisted.
The main occupation here is fishing and due to the proximity to the sea, James town played a key role in the slave trade which demanded construction of James Town Lighthouse to serve us a navigation aid for incoming slave ships.
The 28-metre (92 ft) structure was originally built in the 1930s, replacing an earlier lighthouse that had been built in 1871. It consists of a stone tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a keeper's house.. It’s not a tourist attraction in the usual sense – no gift shops or ticket offices here. There’s a good panoramic view from the top of the spiral staircase of the light house.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Ussher Fort and Museum, James Town, Accra Ghana
James Town being a coastal town and slave trade town was inundated with forts and castles so our next stop is Fort Ussher. The most prominent Fort in James Town which was built by the Dutch in 1649 as Fort Crêvecoeur Major project was carried out by Ghana Government, EU and UNESCO to restore this historical edifice into a museum in 2007. A must place to visit to learn abdominal historical slave trade in Accra.

We visited Cape Coast Castle, Elimina Castle, the Ancestral Slave walk and the Last Bath, Boti Waterfalls and Umbrella Rock, Independence Square, and Makola Market. I had such a great time and experience that I'm ready to come back and have Isaac show me everything else that Ghana has to offer! Thanks so much for making my experience a life-changing one!!Isaac K

My tour with Ghana city tours was ultimately fantastic. From the of Accra to the mini safari of shai hills, cape coast castles and the canopy walk, water falls of Wli and the afadzato mountain are memories I can't forget. The driver/tour guide was particularly amazing. The little lectures on the traditions and cultures of the people and places painted vivid pictures of life centuries ago. Kudos Ghana city tour. My trip was definitely worth it.greatndidi

It was my first time visiting Ghana and I had an amazing time at all the locations we visited, particularly loved my trip because of the tours. So much to learn and so much to do, but sadly I didn't have enough time to go everywhere on our agenda, I'll definitely be back. Particularly loved learning about Kwame Nkrumah and going through the rope course at the Botanical Gardens. It's an experience I'll recommend.156amae

Me and my wife visited Accra, Ghana in November and had the best time of our lives. Our first tour was to Cape Coast which was an approximately 3hr ride from our apartment. Chris, our tour guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable of the places visited, and made our time there worth it. We are definitely going to make another visit, more site seeing, and experience more of the cultural celebrations.
