Accra Getting there & around

Getting around

Depending on your negotiating abilities and patience, the fare from the airport into the city centre can range from US$2.20 to US$7.50. Anything under US$4.40 is fair.

Line taxis and tro-tros travel on fixed runs from major landmarks or between major circles, such as Danquah, 37 and Nkrumah (usually just called ‘Circle’). Fares are fixed and are typically about US$0.10.

Taking taxis in Accra is convenient but since there are no meters the unavoidable haggling can get tiring. Any ride within the city shouldn’t cost more than US$1.10. Rates rise at night.
