Start with a visit to the Du Bois Centre, the former residence and final resting place of Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois. Explore the memorial grounds and museum while learning about Du Bois’ work, his relocation to Ghana, and his influence on African and African-American intellectual history.

Continue to the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, one of the country’s most important national monuments. Dedicated to Ghana’s first President, the mausoleum complex includes a museum, landscaped gardens, and symbolic architecture representing independence and freedom.

Next, head to Makola Market, a busy open-air market that is a central hub for trade and daily life in Accra. Walk through sections selling fresh produce, spices, textiles, and household goods. Your guide will assist with navigating the market, explain local trading practices, and provide cultural context while ensuring a comfortable experience in a lively environment.

Then, visit the Arts Centre, a key location for traditional and contemporary Ghanaian crafts. Browse stalls offering handmade items such as beads, carvings, paintings, fabrics, and souvenirs. This visit provides insight into Ghanaian artistry and allows you to purchase authentic locally made products directly from artisans.
