Makola Market

Accra Central, Accra · Greater Accra

Accra's sprawling heart of commerce, where kente, plantain, hardware and herbal medicine all trade under one chaotic roof.

The local tip

Enter from the Kojo Thompson Road side, keep your bag in front of you, and agree every price before anything is bagged.

Check before leaving

Trading days around public holidays vary; the market is busiest and easiest before 10am.
