Top Attractions in Kumasi
💡 Visit early morning (7-9am) to avoid the worst heat and crowds. Keep your bag zipped and valuables hidden—pickpockets are common. Haggle hard but stay friendly.
💡 Bring small cash—crafts here are cheaper than at Kejetia, but sellers rarely have change. A small wooden stool costs about 20 GHS. Go around 10am when most craftspeople are working.
💡 The museum costs 10-20 GHS but is skippable if you're on a strict budget. Instead, walk the free park and read the information boards along the path. Best time is late afternoon for shade.
💡 Entry is just 5 GHS for locals, 20 GHS for tourists. Ask the guide to show you the dungeon and the old ammunition rooms—often overlooked but fascinating. Closed Sundays.
💡 Go on a Friday afternoon—you might catch a traditional durbah ceremony in the palace courtyard. Entry is 10-20 GHS for locals, 50-100 GHS for tourists.
