💡 Visit on a weekday morning when the square is mostly empty. The monument is unguarded, so just walk up—no ticket needed.
💡 Focus on the basement—it has the best displays on pre-colonial life. Plan for 45 minutes max; the air conditioning is a bonus.
💡 Arrive before noon to avoid the heat. Bring a hat and water, and skip the guided tour if you’re short on cash—the exhibits are self-explanatory.
💡 Avoid Sundays unless you want a packed crowd. Go on a weekday for a serene experience, and buy fresh coconut from the vendors for 2 GHS.
