Travel guide
Get in
From Accra you can catch an A/C tro-tro from Kinbu Gardens (3 hr).
Get around
To get around, take a taxi from anywhere. Standard fare is 50 pasewas. As with anywhere else in Ghana, make sure you note landmarks around you so you know what to tell the taxi driver on your way home. The Station (directly south of the market) has Tros going to regional destinations (such as Hohoe) and to Accra.
Taxis are difficult to find after midnight.
Drink
There are a ton of drinking spots in Ho. Tourists, volunteers, and peace corps types like to hang out at White House (next to the Stanbic Bank). Sky Plus Hotel is also nice and comes with an excellent view, but be warned that a taxi ride to and from there will be both difficult to obtain and expensive. If you prefer a more local experience, try Mirage. To get there, hire a taxi to "Voradep Village" and get out when the paved road ends.

ホ（Ho）は、ガーナ南東部のヴォルタ州の州都。2013年の人口は9万9375人。ホはAdaklu山と、トーゴのアタコラ山脈に属するGalenukuiの間に位置する。ホには博物館や大聖堂、大きな刑務所などがある。 ホはBanakoe（現Bankoe）とHegbe（現在のHeve）の二つの村が合体して誕生した。Bankoe人のグループはAhliha（現Hliha）に移住し、一方新たにAhoe人とDome人が移住してきた。この対立はホの歴史上しばしば衝突を引き起こし、これを緩和するために近郊にソコデ、Ziavi、Klepe、Adaklu、Akoepe、タクラ、Kpenoe、およびHoviepeといった村が建設された。 ホは19世紀にドイツ領トーゴラントに属するようになり、第1次世界大戦が終了すると国際連盟の委任統治領として、イギリス領トーゴランドの首都となった。西隣のイギリス領黄金海岸が独立運動を起こすとトーゴランドでも帰属投票が行われ、黄金海岸に加盟することが決定し、やがてガーナ共和国として独立した。 ホの市街地は舗装されているものの、それ以外は舗装されていない。市内には大きな病院が2つと小さな多くの病院がある。ホはガーナ及びトーゴの人々を惹きつける露天市場があり、またカトリックのホ教区やホ競技場もある。
