Elmina is 15km west of Cape Coast, which means most visitors combine both castles in one trip. If you're doing that, plan for a full day - leave Accra early and give yourself 2 hours at each site.
Elmina Castle is older than Cape Coast and often hits harder. The fishing harbor outside the castle walls is beautiful in a complex way. The town of Elmina itself is one of the most atmospheric coastal towns in Ghana.
Your driver knows the route and can wait while you do the tour. The guided visit is the only way to access certain parts of the castle, so budget 90–120 minutes on site.
