Ghana’s 10 most visited tourist attractions recorded 1,377,588 visits in 2025, accounting for about 77% of all tourism visits recorded during the year.
The figures were disclosed by the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Dzifa Abla Gomashie, as part of an assessment of Ghana’s tourism performance.
The data shows a strong concentration of visitor activity among a relatively small number of attractions, with sites in Accra, Kumasi, the Central Region and Eastern Region featuring prominently among the country's most visited destinations.
The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park emerged as the most visited attraction in the ranking.
It was followed by Kakum National Park, while Bonsu Arboretum/Eco Park placed third.
The Cape Coast Castle ranked fourth, followed by Manhyia Palace in fifth position.
The remaining attractions in the top 10 are Kumasi Zoo, Accra Zoo, Elmina Castle, Shai Hills Resource Reserve and Aburi Botanical Gardens.
