About Cantonments

Cantonments, Accra's diplomatic and administrative heart, is an elegant neighborhood where colonial history meets contemporary African sophistication. This prestigious area, originally established as a British military cantonment, now hosts embassies, international organizations, and upscale residences amidst tree-lined streets. Visitors can explore the fascinating Osu Castle (also known as Fort Christiansborg), discover contemporary art at private galleries, and experience some of Accra's finest dining at restaurants serving both international and Ghanaian cuisine. The area's tranquil atmosphere contrasts beautifully with the bustling energy of nearby Osu, yet remains within easy reach of the city's main attractions. Don't miss the chance to stroll through the peaceful streets admiring the blend of colonial architecture and modern design, or visit during the weekly farmers' markets that showcase local produce and crafts. With its refined ambiance and strategic location, Cantonments offers a sophisticated gateway to experiencing Accra's elite side while staying connected to authentic Ghanaian culture.
