Transportation to Accra City Center from Airport
Ghana's capital and largest city, Accra is also the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Kotoka International Airport in the city, which is sister cities with Adana and Samsun in Turkey and Chicago and Washington in the United States, connects the important cities of Africa and the world and Accra.
The airport that hosts about 3 million passengers per year is not very big. However, it is possible to find almost anything here that travelers may need before and after the flight. The airport serves with two terminals; domestic flights take place from Terminal 1 while international flights take place from Terminal 2.
You can switch between terminals before leaving the airport. Restaurants, cafes, duty-free shops and private passenger lounges are located in Terminal 2, from where international flights take place. There is also a VIP Lounge, which is usually used by diplomats, at the airport. It is possible to fly directly from Istanbul to Accra via Turkish Airlines flights. The city also has direct flights to cities such as London, Beirut, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon and New York. In the city, the period from May to July and from August to October is mostly rainy. If you are traveling outside of these months, you will be able to explore the city more easily.
Located 9 kilometers north of the city, the airport welcomes close to 2 million passengers each year. There are taxis, buses, hotel services, limousine among the options in Accra to reach the city center from the airport. You can easily get to Accra city center or other nearby areas by renting a car from airport.
Taxi
You can use the taxi to get to Accra city center from Kotoka International Airport. The fare for the first kilometer of the taxis, waiting for passengers at the airport for almost all day time, is $ 1.55. Then you need to pay $ 0.55 per kilometer. You can also make reservations online via the internet.
Most of the taxis in the city do not have a taximeter. For this reason, you should absolutely agree with the driver about the price before taking the taxi. If you are a crowded group, taxi drivers can ask you to pay more. Depending on the traffic and the route, the journey from the airport to the city center takes about 25-50 minutes by taxi.
Bus
There are no bus lines serving from the airport to the city center in Accra. However, once you reach the city center from the airport, you can take the buses to other parts of the city or other nearby cities.
Airport Shuttles
You can also reach the center of the city from Accra Airport by the airport shuttles provided by the hotels in the city. Almost every hotel has shuttle service to the airport. However, before you use these services, you should also remember that you must negotiate the price with your hotel and make sure to have a reservation.
If you are a bit late for this, you can use the shuttles on the way back and easily reach the airport. The most important advantage of airport shuttles compared to the taxi is that you usually do not need to pay any additional fees once you agree about the price.
Car Rental
At Accra Airport you can rent a car from the offices that meet the passengers at Terminal 2 and drive to the center of the city with a private vehicle.
