Ghana is a cultural powerhouse in West Africa, drawing visitors to historical sites like Elmina Castle, lively urban centers, and vibrant festivals. Ghana stands out for its safety relative to the region. The Global Peace Index places it above countries such as France, China, and Jamaica. It also receives a zero rating on the Terrorism Index, a rare achievement. Compared to many countries globally, violent crime rates are relatively low.

According to Altezza Travel, Ghana even surpasses Canada and Australia in crime statistics. Tourists generally feel welcome and safe, especially in cities like Accra and Cape Coast. While petty theft can occur, especially in crowded markets, incidents are infrequent and often preventable with standard precautions.
