Question 2

Is Ashanti walkable?

Accepted Answer

Partly. In Kumasi’s centre you can walk between Kejetia Market, the National Cultural Centre, and the Prempeh II Jubilee Museum, but sidewalks can be uneven and traffic is busy.

For the Manhyia Palace Museum and farther sights, taxis or tro‑tros signed Manhyia or Bantama from Kejetia are practical. For outings to Lake Bosomtwe or the craft villages, consider a private tour in Ashanti that includes private transportation.
