Accra by Night (Ghana Tourism Development Company)

Accra by Night is a guided night-time bus tour of the capital organised by the Ghana Tourism Development Company, a company under Ghana's tourism ministry that manages tourist sites and runs tours, vehicle rentals and hospitality services. The tour was launched in April 2025 to showcase the city's culture and nightlife economy and is run in partnership with Graphic Showbiz. It celebrated its first anniversary in April 2026.

The idea is to see Accra's landmarks in a different light. The tour visits many of the same places as daytime city tours, but after dark, and combines sightseeing with entertainment. Organisers have stressed that it is more than an evening version of a day tour, with music and a social atmosphere as part of the experience. Special editions, such as the anniversary tour, have added extras like a get-together and a raffle on the bus.

The tour is open to both Ghanaians and international visitors and suits groups of friends, couples, solo travellers who want company and anyone who would rather explore the city at night with a guide than alone. It is a useful option for visitors with limited time who want an overview of Accra in one evening. The company also arranges private versions for corporate groups, such as staff outings and visiting clients.

Accra by Night originally ran on the last Friday of each month, but by late 2025 it was running almost every Friday, with several departures each month. Details of meeting points, routes and booking are announced through the company's channels and partners, so check ahead for the next departure. Dress comfortably, bring some cash for drinks and snacks, and plan your journey home in advance, as tours finish late.

For visitors who are unsure about moving around the city after dark on their own, a group tour with a guide and transport is a straightforward way to experience Accra's evening life. Because departures depend on demand and special editions are added for occasions such as anniversaries, it is worth asking at your hotel or checking the company's announcements early in your stay.

Beyond Accra by Night, the Ghana Tourism Development Company manages sites such as the Assin Manso Slave River Site and offers vehicle rental, tour operations and airport meet-and-greet services. It has said it plans to take the night-tour concept to other cities in Ghana.
