About this experience
A day drenched in Kumasi’s cultural heartbeat — craft, creativity, royal history, and the stories that shaped the Ashanti kingdom. Start with clay, fabric, and hands-on artistry at the Cultural Centre. Slow down for lunch beside the water at Ike’s Café. Then follow the path of legend at the Sword Site before stepping into Ghana’s military memory at the Fort Museum. It’s immersive, grounding, authentic Kumasi — the kind of day that leaves you with stained hands, a full stomach, and a deeper sense of home.
