Oxford Street, Osu

Osu, Accra · Greater Accra

Accra's main shopping and going-out strip, lined with boutiques, banks, bars and street-food carts from end to end.

The local tip

Walk the whole strip once before buying; prices for the same item drop sharply a block off the main road.

Check before leaving

Traffic and parking are worst on weekday evenings; confirm shop hours on Sundays.
