Sunyani's central market is a colourful, busy market serving the city and surrounding villages. It sells the full range of Ghanaian market goods — yams, plantains, cassava, tomatoes, pepper, palm oil, dried fish, kente cloth, second-hand clothing, and household items. The atmosphere is friendly; Sunyani is repeatedly cited as one of Ghana's cleanest and most orderly cities, and the market reflects this.
The market is busiest in the morning and on weekdays. Wednesday and Saturday tend to be the largest market days. Even if you're not buying, an hour walking through the rows of sellers is a good introduction to the rhythms of daily life in the Bono Region. The textile section has a good selection of locally woven kente and printed fabric.
