Discover Koforidua through its different points of interest: the Koforidua Beads Market in the Gallaway neighborhood, panoramic views from Obuor Tabiri and the Youth and Sports Recreational Centre. Boti Falls lie 17 km northeast of the city, in the surrounding area. This lets you distinguish between places in the city and a nearby point of interest.

Bead Craft in Gallaway

The Koforidua Beads Market is located in the Gallaway neighborhood, next to Koforidua Jubilee Park. Gallaway and the park provide two specific points of reference for its location: the first identifies the neighborhood, while the second is right next to the market. These details place the market within Koforidua rather than leaving it as just a name on a list.

The beads are made entirely by hand, cut and hand-painted. Their production uses traditional methods passed down by artisans over generations. This brings together two aspects: the hands-on work involved in making the beads and the inherited knowledge behind the methods. If you are interested in local crafts, the market offers a concrete connection to both. The focus is on bead-making and its traditions.

Panoramic Views and City Facilities

Obuor Tabiri, also known as Obuotabiri, offers panoramic views over Koforidua. Both names refer to the same mountain and help you recognize the viewpoint by its different names. The view over the city offers a different focus from the Beads Market: here, the panorama is the point of reference, while the market is about bead craft. The viewpoint and the craft traditions thus represent different sides of Koforidua.

The Youth and Sports Recreational Centre is also located in Koforidua. Its facilities include basketball and volleyball courts, a gym, an ICT hub and an entrepreneurship centre. The facilities range from sports and fitness to ICT and entrepreneurship. This combination makes the centre a different kind of city landmark from the market or the mountain: the focus here is on several types of facilities in one place. The abbreviation ICT stands for information and communication technology.

Boti Falls in the Surrounding Area

Boti Falls lie 17 km northeast of Koforidua. The distance and direction place the falls in the surrounding area, while the market, mountain and recreational centre are located within the city. This is useful if you want to distinguish between destinations in Koforidua and a destination in the surrounding area when choosing where to go. Consider Boti Falls as a separate geographical point of reference; you can check the appropriate route for specific directions.
