Hi, I arrive to Accra airport at 8:30 pm and I would like to make sure how much should cost a taxi from the airport to the city center at that time. Ca you help? Marcin

Assume something like 25 to 30 GHC to get into the greater center area.

I'd say 25-30 is at the top end of the scale - definitely don't pay more than that!

You can find a regular taxi for not more than 15 cedis to go downtown. Avoid airport taxis.

OB is right. From airport to Accra centre is 15 cedi, even at 9pm. Just exit the terminal, turn left and walk 50 m, away from the vultures, and the price drops significantly.
