Accra, Ghana
‘Parte after parte’ starts in Cantonments. A residential neighbourhood packed with embassies near to Kotoka International Airport, Cantonments acts as a gateway between the world and the rest of the city. Nestled in the heart of East Accra, and connected to other prime parts of Accra like Osu and Labone, Cantonments harmoniously combines modernity with the diverse cultural melting pot that defines Accra. Its residents range from diplomats and expats to young professionals, who you’ll find dining out in any of the area’s great local restaurants. Social initiatives such as the Rotary Club of Accra contribute to the area’s growing reputation.
The perfect day Breakfast doesn't have to break the bank in Accra. Start your day at a local food vendor and treat yourself to Ghana's favorite breakfast, waakye (cooked rice and beans), at Auntie Munie Waakye. Then, it's time for some culture: nearby galleries and museums include the WEB Dubois Memorial Centre, Goethe-Institut and Berj Gallery. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at Bistro 22, known for its fusion cuisine, and end your day with a top-tier dinner at The Honeysuckle or Vine. Popular nightclub Twist is your go-to if you want to carry the night on.
Plan your trip December is a busy month in Ghana as the diaspora returns for Christmas season. Flights might be pricier, but the festivities and parties that take over town at this time of year are more than worth it.
