Ghana’s historic Cape Coast and Elmina Castles have extended their operating hours to 10:00 p.m., in a move aimed at supporting the government’s 24-hour economy agenda and expanding tourism opportunities. Cape Coast and Elmina Castles will now operate until 10:00 p.m., allowing visitors to explore the historic sites beyond traditional daytime hours. The Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB) successfully tested night tours at both castles before the extended hours were introduced. Tourism Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie said the initiative forms part of the government’s 24-hour economy agenda, creating new opportunities for tourism businesses and improving access to Ghana’s heritage sites. The initiative also forms part of broader efforts to make Ghana’s tourism sector more dynamic and responsive to the government’s 24-hour economy vision.
