Accra is the capital and largest city of Ghana, located on the southern coast at the Gulf of Guinea, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean. As of the 2021 census, the Accra Metropolitan District, 20.4 km2 (7.9 sq mi), had a population of 284,124, and the larger Greater Accra Region, 3,245 km2 (1,253 sq mi), had a population of 5.46 million. The name "Accra" sometimes refers to the territory of the Accra Metropolitan District as it existed before 2008, when it covered 199.4 km2 (77.0 sq mi). This territory has since been split into 13 local government districts: 12 independent municipal districts and the reduced Accra Metropolitan District (20.4 km2), which is the only district within the capital to be granted city status. This territory of 199.4 km2 contained 1,782,150 inhabitants at the 2021 census, and serves as the capital of Ghana, while the district under the jurisdiction of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly proper (20.4 km2) is distinguished from the rest of the capital as the "City of Accra".

As WE explore this lively city, YOU will be immersed in the rich heritage of the Ghanaian people. Accra is the capital city of Ghana, located on the southern coast of West Africa. With a population of over 2 million people, it is a hub of activity and energy.

One of the most striking features of Accra is its architecture. The city is a blend of old and new, with modern skyscrapers towering over traditional colonial buildings. YOU can see this contrast in the Independence Square, where the Independence Arch stands tall next to the old Christianborg Castle.
