The night tour, held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, offered participants a rare experience of Accra’s colonial past, lively street scenes, and iconic monuments.
Tour guides provided insights into the evolution of several neighborhoods, including British and Dutch Accra, explaining how these areas still reflect remnants of European colonial architecture.
“The old Accra consists of two main parts: British Accra and Dutch Accra,” a guide explained.
“Currently, by geographical location, we are in Dutch Accra, driving toward British Accra. You can tell from the buildings around here that many are very old, most are over 400 to 500 years old.”
Participants also visited the first post office in Accra, established when the capital moved from Cape Coast, as well as key landmarks such as Independence Square, which includes the Black Star Square, the Independence Arch, and Nationalism Park.
