Introducing Cape Coast
The centre of Cape Coast, the former British colonial capital, is lined with neglected, faded buildings. Their ages are irrelevant in this now-vibrant town, whose history – Cape Coast was the largest slave-trading centre in West Africa – only becomes apparent after a visit to the massive Cape Coast Castle (adult/student US$7/4, still/video camera fee US$0.50/1.10; 9am-5pm) in the heart of town, overlooking the sea. Extensively restored, the whitewashed castle now houses a superb and moving museum. A guided tour is offered with your admission and should not be missed; allow a minimum of an hour for the tour.
