Kumasi Apartments — Ashanti Capital Ghana

Why Kumasi

Kumasi is Ghana's second city and arguably its cultural soul. The Ashanti Kingdom, headquartered at Manhyia Palace, is the most powerful traditional kingdom in West Africa. Kejetia Market — the largest open-air market in West Africa — is an extraordinary sensory experience.

Kumasi is also a major commercial city and university hub, with KNUST (Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology) ranking among West Africa's top institutions. The city's craft village at Ntonso is where Kente is made in its authentic form.
