Practical information : Sightseeing Ghana

Timetable

Leaving aside Ghana's public squares and natural spaces (which have no opening/closing times), most of Ghana's sites of tourist interest - namely museums and ancient buildings (mostly forts) - open around 9.30am and close around 5pm/6pm max.

To be booked

Specific excursions can be booked in advance. In general, you can enquire directly at the place where you're staying and set up the outing you wish to make on the same day or the following day.

Budget & Tips

Unfortunately, there is no culture pass in Ghana. But generally speaking, you won't be spending huge sums to visit the country's main tourist sites. On average, allow between GHC 10 and 40 per adult to visit forts and museums.

Main events

Ghana's annual life is filled with traditional festivals that are often social, political and religious rituals. The coast and the Ashanti region are particularly rich in such events, and it can be quite a change of scenery to attend. See the Agenda section of this guide for more information on this topic.

Guided tours

Some local and foreign agencies offer guided tours ranging from half a day to several days. For more information and to plan ahead, please refer to the last chapter of this guide: Organizing your trip / Stays and Tours.

Smokers

Generally speaking, Ghanaians don't smoke, and smoking is frowned upon. In public places, no one will tell you what to do if you smoke. However, make sure you don't get in anyone's way. Smoking is forbidden in museums and cultural sites.
