Sunyani

Overview

As the capital of Brong Ahafo, Sunyani owns some of the more important buildings and services of the region. There is a new regional hospital, many diffrent 'high quality' schools, a courthouse and like in all bigger cities of Ghana there's also a great deal of military barracks.

Actually there's not too much to see for touristic affairs, except for a few nice buildings, but it's a good place for resting, passing trough, walking at the colourful market and actually for living also.

The most beautifull building is the Cathedral (Roman Catholic church) which is one of the few churches there with an own building since most commmunities use schools for having their services on Saturday or Sunday. Other nice buildings are the Sacred Heart Church, the New Hospital and the Cocobod House.

From this place it's really easy to make short excursions to Kintampo (waterfalls) , Fiema (the monkey sanctuary), Berekum (wich has a swimming pool) etc.
