Ashanti

Ashanti Region is a kingdom of gold, history and culture. Occupying a central portion of modern Ghana, the region is the hub of ancient kingdom of the Asante, and still the heartland for all Asante, wherever they may now be. Throughout Ashanti (and especially in Kumasi) you will find welcoming hotels and restaurants, while in main towns nightlife and entertainment are first class. Sporting facilities are available in the urban areas, while exciting fishing can be enjoyed in our lakes and rivers. To discover the tradition heartland of Ghana.

Manhyia Palace and Museum This is the seat and official residence of the Asantehene. Its large courtyard holds statues of past great Kings and Queens of the Ashanti Kingdom. Located on the Antoa rd just a kilometer from the National museum, this palace was built in 1926 on the return from exile of the Asantehene nana Prempeh 1. This palace remains in use today and houses a small but interesting history museum. Best time to visit is during the Adae festival, which occurs every sixth Sunday when the Asantehene receives homage from his subjects and subservient chiefs.
