Accra is one of West Africa's most liveable capitals — relaxed in a way Lagos never is, coastal, creative, and quietly ambitious. For Nigerian visitors, entry is straightforward under ECOWAS, flights are short and frequent, and the cultural overlap is real enough to feel like familiar ground. The city has a growing arts scene, some of the region's best beaches, and a food culture that will start arguments about jollof in the best possible way.
