Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Kumasi is the heart of Ashanti culture and Ghana's second city — the Kejetia Market (one of West Africa's largest), the Manhyia Palace Museum, and the kente weaving villages nearby are all extraordinary solo cultural experiences. A local guide helps significantly in the market. English is widely spoken. The Ashanti people are proud of their history and love explaining it to interested visitors.
