4. Jamestown
Jamestown is a tough but moving neighbourhood of Accra.
There’s a ton of history to discover as both the British and the Portuguese left behind a cultural and architectural legacy.
The Jamestown community is close-knit and the atmosphere is lively.
There aren’t many markers to explain the context of the history that you’re seeing, so a guide is a welcome addition, but certainly not necessary.
The neighbourhood is a cross between rural and urban and is famous for turning out incredible national boxers.
