It is very necessary to once in a while, take short breaks, work leave and a little vacation from our daily schedules which are mostly packed with loads of work. A little relaxation won’t hurt you.

Vacations aren’t always given. Sometimes you may have to grab that little time yourself and make it worthwhile. Go for a picnic, take pictures, meet new people and create memories. A lot goes into deciding on a destination for that short vacation/break.

We just don’t pack a few essentials and board the next bus to nowhere. You select a location based on certain factors such as reviews, curiosity, interests, and familiarity, among others. You’re obviously not looking in the right places if you’re in the greater Accra region and have no idea where to go this weekend or places to explore during your semester break.

Accra is home to some of the most stunning and exciting places you can dream of. Here are some interesting places you’d like to visit before the year ends:
