Kejetia Market
One of West Africa's largest open-air markets, with thousands of stalls crowded into the city centre, selling everything from kente cloth and beads to herbs and farm produce.
Kejetia Market is connected to the adjacent Kumasi Central Market. It is said to have more than 10,000 stalls, and its maze of alleys sells cloth, kente, glass beads, sandals, spices, herbs and all kinds of food, organised by product. Since 2018, part of the market has moved into a new multi-storey modern building. It is very crowded and easy to get lost in, so it's best to take a local guide and keep an eye on your belongings. Ask vendors for permission before taking their photo. Most stalls are closed on Sundays.
