Kumasi Travel Safety Guide — Ghana

Safety Score: 8/10 · Value: 9/10 · Beauty: 7.3/10

Kumasi is the heartland of the Ashanti people, one of West Africa's greatest civilisations, and Ghana's second city. The Ashanti Kingdom was the most powerful state in the region at its peak in the 18th century, controlling the gold and kola nut trade. Kejetia Market is the largest market in West Africa (12,000+ stalls, 200,000 daily visitors). The Kente cloth woven in the villages of Bonwire and Adanwomase remains one of the world's most distinctive textiles, originally reserved for Ashanti royalty, the patterns each carry specific meaning. The Manhyia Palace is the seat of the Asantehene (Ashanti king), one of Africa's most respected traditional rulers.
