DOMESTIC TRAVEL, ETC.
Transportation from and to the airport
The airport is roughly 7 km / 5 miles from the University of Ghana, Legon campus and about 12 km / 7 miles to the inner city of Accra (Accra city is the capital of Ghana)
Do not be daunted by hustlers (for both private and taxi) as you exit the arrival hall to find transportation. Because of the physical and administrative restrictions, common rides such as Uber, Bolt, and Yango (these are most common in Accra) have limited access to the airport, especially rides originating at the airport. It is recommended you choose a taxi, many of which are usually available at the parking lots in front of the arrival hall. Some of these taxis also have their individual personal agents who may charge more than acceptable rates. You must learn to bargain insistently from this fresh moment in Ghana and this should be among your reasonable survival skills. A normal taxi rate from the airport to the Legon campus should be around GHS 50 - GHS 80 (i.e., between USD$ 7-10). Public transportation is much cheaper but visitors should avoid this system for reasons of personal safety; this caution applies well to travels to and from the inner city, Accra)
Forex Exchange and ATM transactions: There are banks and forex exchange bureaus at the airport. Once can also visit Accra Mall (a modern shopping mall 7 km / 5 miles from the Legon campus and accessible by taxi,Uber, Bolt, etc.) for these transactions. There are several ATM sites and banks on campus, especially those near the conference center and at the “Banking Square.”
