About Antananarivo
The essentials for planning your trip
Antananarivo needs 2 days: the Queen's Palace (Rova) atop one of the city's hills on one, and the Analakely market on the other. April-November is the dry season, with cool nights due to the altitude (1,280m). It's among the world's cheapest capitals for international tourists. Built on twelve sacred hills, its blend of French colonial architecture with Malagasy traditions (a unique mix of African and Southeast Asian roots) makes it culturally distinct from any other African capital.
