Travel tips for Ghana

  • 1

    Always carry small bills (cedis) for markets and tro-tros (shared taxis), as many vendors and drivers don’t accept large notes.

  • 2

    Dress modestly when visiting rural areas or religious sites to respect local customs and avoid unwanted attention.

  • 3

    Try banku and tilapia at Labadi Beach in Accra for an authentic taste of Ghanaian street food.
