  "summary": "Accra has been named one of the world's top 20 nightlife cities for 2026, according to a new ranking by Time Out. The Ghanaian capital secured the 18th position in the global list, based on feedback from over 24,000 locals and assessments from city editors, culture experts, and nightlife specialists. Time Out praised Accra's vibrant bars, clubs, live music venues, and entertainment spaces, highlighting Osu as a major nightlife centre and East Legon as a growing destination for evening entertainment. The city's affordability, sense of community, and welcoming atmosphere were among its standout qualities, with 62% of residents considering nightlife affordable, 75% finding a sense of community easy, and 65% describing the city as welcoming and friendly. Accra is one of only two African cities to make the global top 20, with Johannesburg ranking seventh. The global list was topped by Bangkok, followed by Berlin and Melbourne.",
