Currency and Payments
While credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and shops in urban areas, cash remains king in Ghana. It's advisable to carry Ghanaian Cedis (GHS) for smaller transactions, especially in rural areas and markets. ATMs are available in most cities, but it's a good idea to have some cash on hand.
Transportation
Driving in Ghana can be challenging for tourists. Traffic laws aren't always strictly enforced, and the roads can be congested and in poor condition in some areas. Taxis and tro-tros (minibuses) are readily available and a much safer, more convenient option for getting around, especially in cities. If you choose to rent a car, exercise extra caution and consider hiring a driver.
