The Art Centre
Edit ThisA large "market" with stalls selling arts & crafts from Ghana. You could buy very fine wood carvings, drums, and several types of colourfull cloth, including the Ashante kente. However, prices could be a multiple of what you find elsewhere in Ghana, so bargain hard! Appart from the drummakers there are not much demonstrations of how all this beauty is created. If you also plan to visit Kumasi, the Cultural Centre there is by far superior to this.

This castle is somewhat comparable to the castles in Elmina and Cape coast, but unfortunately you can't just walk up to it for a visit. Inside this historical monument the Ghanaian ministery holds his meetings. You can enter as a tourist if you make a reservation. It welcomes people from all ages and races. Please visit!
