Collection
This region is more than just the cultural heartland of the country and the historic centre of the Ashanti. Besides Kumasi, which is the historic seat of royalty, a major urban centre and the transport hub of the region, there are rural areas, villages and forests, handicrafts, butterflies and monkeys all within striking distance. Kumasi marks the tip of the triangle linking Takoradi and Accra in a popular travel circuit. There are several flights daily linking it with Accra.
