The best shopping in Kumasi isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Kejetia Market and National Cultural Centre are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Bonwire village — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
The cultural heart of the Ashanti Kingdom, a vibrant city of royal heritage, kente cloth weaving, and one of the largest open-air markets in West Africa.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Kumasi. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Kejetia Market — one of West Africa's largest markets, a vast labyrinth of stalls selling everything imaginable, National Cultural Centre — a complex with craft workshops, a museum, and traditional architecture, plus hidden gems like Bonwire village — a nearby village where kente cloth has been woven by hand for centuries and Ntonso village — the center of adinkra cloth stamping, where traditional symbols are printed using calabash stamps.
Use this page as a starting point for a Kumasi walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Kumasi. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Kumasi for culture and history, but every walking route ends up passing through Kejetia Market and National Cultural Centre and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Bonwire village — it reflects what the people of Kumasi actually buy, make, and value.
Visit Bonwire or Ntonso villages to see kente and adinkra cloth made by hand. Bargaining is expected at Kejetia Market.
November through March for dry season. June through August see heavier rainfall.
