Accra: Icons & Pan-African Heritage Tour Private Accra Icons & Pan-African Stories

Discover Accra through the landmarks and stories that shaped Ghana's identity, from independence and Pan-African heritage to art, culture and the enduring legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois.
Some landmarks are impressive because of how they look. Others become unforgettable once you understand what they represent.

This BTH Ghana Photo Quest — part of the BTH Signature Quest Experience explores Accra through places connected to Ghana's history, independence, creativity and Pan-African identity.

Begin with Osu Castle, also known as Christiansborg Castle, an important site in Ghana's complex history. Your experience here will depend on the visitor access available on the day of your tour. Interior access is only included when officially available and confirmed.

Continue to Independence Square and the Black Star Gate, where some of Ghana's most recognizable symbols of freedom and nationhood create the setting for one of the day's signature moments.

But don't just take the photograph.

Look closer.

Throughout your journey, the BTH Ghana Photo Quest challenges you to notice the details, symbols and connections that are easy to miss when sightseeing becomes simply moving from one attraction to the next.

At the National Museum of Ghana, explore objects, artwork and historical collections that reveal different chapters of Ghanaian life and heritage.

Then experience Ghanaian creativity at the Arts Centre.

Rather than treating the Arts Centre simply as a shopping stop, BTH invites you to discover the story behind something you see. It may be a symbol, textile, carving, instrument or handmade object—and perhaps even the person or tradition behind it.

Shopping is optional. Curiosity is encouraged.

Your journey continues at the W.E.B. Du Bois Memorial Centre, connecting Ghana with the wider Pan-African movement and African diaspora.

By the end of the experience, you'll have explored Accra through five connected chapters—history, independence, heritage, creativity and Pan-Africanism.

And before the tour ends, BTH leaves you with one final question:

Which story from today will you take home?

Look closer. Discover more. Capture the story.
