== Cityscape == {{Main|Neighbourhoods of Accra}} === Accra Central === The Ring Road, extending from the Korle Lagoon in the west, north to Kwame Nkrumah Circle, following east to the juncture of Independence Avenue, and continuing on to [[Osu, Accra|Osu]], forms a ring around the oldest districts of Accra, and separates central Accra from the outlying suburbs. Central Accra includes the CBD, which consists of the historic districts of [[Jamestown/Usshertown, Accra|Usshertown]], Tudu, [[Victoriaborg, Accra|Victoriaborg]], [[West Ridge, Accra|West Ridge]], and [[East Ridge, Accra|East Ridge]], as well as the historic residential districts of [[Jamestown/Usshertown, Accra|Jamestown]], [[Adabraka]], Asylum Down, [[North Ridge, Accra|North Ridge]] and [[Osu, Accra|Christiansborg/Osu]]. Although satellite business districts such as the Airport City have been established across the city, Central Accra remains the administrative and cultural centre of Accra, hosting government ministries, hotels, businesses, and financial institutions. Central Accra's principal attractions include the [[Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum]], the [[National Museum of Ghana|National Museum]], [[Independence Arch (Accra)|Independence Square]], the [[National Theatre (Accra)|National Theatre]], and the [[Ohene Djan Stadium]]. === Accra North === Northern Accra is a residential and business district. The area contains the "37" Military Hospital, [[The Flagstaff House]], several foreign [[embassy|embassies]], [[Achimota School]], Achimota Golf Park, and the [[University of Ghana]]'s Legon campus, which serves as Accra's northern boundary. Geographically, the areas north of Ring Road West and Central, east of Winneba/Graphic Road, west of Liberation Road, and the districts just north and south of the Kwame Nkrumah motorway are regarded as Northern Accra. Some areas North of Accra include, Ashongnman, Madina, Haatso, North and West Legon and others. === Accra East === Eastern Accra is largely residential and geographically north of Ring Road East, stretching as far north as Kwame Nkrumah Motorway; the district is bordered to the west by Liberation Road. === Accra West === Western Accra is largely a residential and business area. Whilst geographically less expansive than the northern and eastern reaches of the city as a result of the large saltponds of Tettegu and Aplaku, it nonetheless boasts one of Accra's most important landmarks, the [[Korle Bu Teaching Hospital]]. Geographically, the areas west of Ring Road West, extending as far west as the saltponds and south of Graphic Road, are considered Accra West.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ghanadistricts.com/districts/?r=1&_=3&rlv=climate |title=A repository of all districts in the republic of Ghana |publisher=Ghana Districts |access-date=5 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711091832/http://ghanadistricts.com/districts/?r=1&_=3&rlv=climate |archive-date=11 July 2011}}</ref>
