The capital and largest city of Ghana stretches along the Gulf of Guinea coast and is a major hub of West African cultural, economic, and artistic life. The Jamestown neighbourhood contains the colonial-era lighthouse, fishing harbour, and boxing gyms that form part of Accra's historic core, while the Arts Centre market remains the largest concentration of Ghanaian craft and textile goods in the country. The city's vibrant music scene, including afrobeats and highlife venues, draws visitors from across the continent.
