Ashanti Region
Kumasi and Ashanti heritage
The heart of the Asante kingdom. The Manhyia Palace Museum, the vast Kejetia Market, and the craft villages where kente is woven and adinkra cloth is printed.
Two days or more
Kumasi is Ghana’s second city and the centre of Asante culture. Two days gives you time for the palace, the markets and the craft villages without rushing.
Flying from Accra saves most of a day on the road, and we can arrange either option.
