What travelers are saying
- Yardie4LifeFort Lauderdale, FL37 contributionsWhile in Kumasi, I visited the Manhyia Palace Museum. The tour started with a short video on the history of the Asantes (yes this is the correct spelling). I learned about the rise of the Asante kingdom, the Asantehene, the Queen Mother and the resilience of the Asante warriors. This really set the pace for the rest of the tour which was quite informative and educational.
Our tour guide led us through room after room and explained the significance (and importance) of each artifact such as original furniture, thrones, wax figures, gold ornaments and even a working refrigerator from 1974! However, please note that pictures and recordings are not allowed.
Overall I left with a feeling of cultural awareness and empowerment; but most importantly, a connection to and an appreciation of these majestic people which I descended from.
Tip - Schedule your visit for the same day of the Akwasidae Festival which is an experience in itself!Written October 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You will find almost everything from food to clothing , toiletries, fabrics, shoes etc.
Very crowded most of the time and quite noisy but a great place to find food item you need at a good price.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There’s also a huge grocery store with the most friendly staff. My favorite part was the local wines in the lobby. I enjoyed sipping on my palm wine while shopping.Written August 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
