Frequently asked questions
About Cape Coast
Cape Coast is a coastal city in Ghana known for its colonial history and beautiful beaches. The currency used in Cape Coast is the Ghanaian Cedi. The city is home to the Cape Coast Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade. Visitors can explore the castle's dungeons and learn about the dark history of the slave trade. Cape Coast also offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and vibrant markets selling local crafts and textiles.
When to visit
The best time to visit Cape Coast is during the dry season, which runs from November to March. During this time, the weather is sunny and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the city's outdoor attractions. The rainy season, from April to October, can bring heavy downpours and high humidity, so it is best to avoid visiting during this time.
Getting around
Getting around Cape Coast is relatively easy, with options such as taxis, tro-tros (shared minibuses), and rental cars available for transportation. Taxis are a convenient way to travel within the city, while tro-tros are a more budget-friendly option for getting around. Rental cars are also available for those who prefer to have more flexibility in their transportation.
Traveller tips
When visiting Cape Coast, be sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated, as the sun can be strong near the coast. It is also recommended to dress modestly when visiting cultural sites such as the Cape Coast Castle. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Lastly, be prepared for some power outages, as electricity can be unreliable in certain areas of the city.
