See my Review of 'Oxford Street,' Osu.

Jun 2019 • Friends

This is a fascinating part of Accra, but it can be not a little rough. Go with a local friend who knows the city. All that you can expect of a city. Think of New Your's Soho or its namesake in London.

the touristy part of town

May 2017 • Friends

the area is a concentration of bars, pubs and restaurants, with lots of street traders, hustlers, etc thrown in for colour :-)
It is always bustling with life, and can be fun to explore

Not worth a visit

Mar 2019 • Couples

We were told that Osu was the place to go shopping in Accra. So, we got an Uber to Oxford Street in Osu. Apart from a Shoprite supermarket and a couple of market stalls, we didn't see much else, so got another Uber to take us to Makola market. That's where you need to go.

The Tourist nest

Dec 2017 • Couples

Osu is a real tourist nest: with it's art shops, hotels, amazing restaurant next to each other, a great mall and a myriad of shops where you get mostly everything. Don't come to Accra without passing through Osu. But brace up for quite some traffic and high cost of stuff, there's usually quite some traffic. Osu is both residential and business location is between the city centre and most business areas in Accra... it's much better to go through Osu walking....

I grew up in Osu Kuku hill, close to then Russian Cultural Centre. The places of interest are the Osu Night Market, the Castle, Independence Square, Oxford street, Regal Chinese Restaurant where authentic time immemorial Chinese food is served regularly and of course Frankie's.

Beware of 'artist' Kwabena Adjei

Feb 2023

Great spot, but beware of the artist named Kwabena Adjei, who tries to sell art and eventually becomes intimidating in collaboration with a child gang to give him huge amounts of money for art that impresses no one.

Many scrumptious foods and stores. Enjoy but there may be traffic. Osu is known for like a torrist attraction.

An eye opener

May 2019 • Family

For sure worth visiting just to take in the sights and smells.We did the walk from jamestown to Osu Castle, and it was a great beginning to our trip. it is hot, so make sure you buy plenty of pure water along the way and wear comfy shoes.
