Accra is full of mind blowing attractions

Tue, Aug 02, 2011

Accra is one of the most beautiful and visited cities of Africa. Accra is capital city of Ghana. Accra is serving Ghana as capital city since decades. Ghana has eight districts. Out of eight districts Accra is the biggest one with the population of more than 4 million inhabitants. Accra, Ghana was originally built around the port. Its architecture ranges from large and elegant 19th Century colonial buildings to skyscrapers and apartment blocks made of concrete, glass and steel in the 1970s. Shanty towns at the city's edges are where the majority of Accra's ever expanding population can be found. Since the early 1990s a number of new buildings have been built, including the multi-storey Novotel hotel which is French-owned.


 


There is also an impressive National Theatre that was built with help from the Chinese. The centre of Accra contains the main banks, the large department stores, the Cocoa Marketing board headquarters and a whole area known as The Ministries, where the government administration is concentrated. Most people still live in the poor shanty towns which have grown up around the edges of the city and near the port. Homes in the shanty towns are crowded and cramped. They are mud built huts made from any materials that their owners can find. They are made of sticks, palm fronds woven into screens, sheets of corrugated iron or plywood, concrete breezeblocks and discarded packing cases from the port.


 


The shanty towns, like James Town, are like mazes with muddy lanes where goats, chickens and dogs scrabble for scraps. The Bojo White Sand Beach is the latest addition to the beach party situation arising along Ghana's 540Km pristine beach line. Situated next to the Densu delta Ramsar site and along the Atlantic Ocean, in its uniqueness and lovely blend of Caribbean and Ghanaian cultural architecture is the invitation of Bojo beach. Tourists book their flights to Accra from London and other parts of the world to have a look at these beauties and celebrate their holidays.
