Plan language: БългарскиWhen searching for tips on what to do in Antananarivo on Madagascar, start at the Rova of Antananarivo, where the royal palace from 1610 stands with the mausoleum of Queen Ranavalona. Two streets further, Andafiavaratra Palace will surprise you with a collection of royal treasures, but also head to the Analakely market, which hundreds of microbuses reach from the center.
The seat of the last queen, visited by only a few hundred people a year. Personal objects from a hundred years ago lie here as if the owner had just stepped out a moment ago.
Бързи факти: His Malagasy name literally means "the place where the wind rules" and perfectly reflects its position on an exposed hill. The last reigning queen left her wedding dress, gloves and photographs in these rooms, where they still lie to this day just as she left them.
Акценти: The greatest secret is the personal photo albums, which visitors can leaf through with their own hands, and a room tidied as if the queen had just stepped out of it. From the balcony you look out over the gentle hills where the last ruler walked before French troops sent her into exile in 1896.
In a few hours you will walk through an entire island of lemurs, chameleons, and rare tortoises. The paths between the enclosures will lead you into a world you will not find anywhere else on the planet.
Бързи факти: On a plot of just a few hectares, around 80 species of Madagascan animals live here, from royally blue chameleons through fossas to the largest lemur, the indri. The botanical part of the park hides a herbarium with about 80 thousand plant specimens documenting the island flora, roughly seventy percent of which exists nowhere else.
Акценти: The aye-aye, a nocturnal lemur with a long, spider-like finger, hunts for grubs by tapping on bark right in front of visitors' eyes, even though back home in the rainforest people consider it a bad omen. Toward evening, the unmistakable song of the indri rings out, its echo spreading across the quieting park and evoking in the soul the atmosphere of distant rainforests.
Vanilla, spices, and carvings straight from the trader, and prices can be haggled down to half. You walk between fragrant piles and take home trophies and new recipes.
Бързи факти: Ванила от плантациите на източното крайбрежие, която сергиите тук предлагат, покрива около 80% от световното естествено производство. Около 300 търговци продават тук подправки, зеленчуци, рафиеви тъкани и дърворезби, като всяка цена може да бъде договорена до половината.
Акценти: В страничния пасаж всяка сутрин се провежда ванилов търг, където цената на грам расте в рамките на една минута, а победителят плаща в брой на място. Торбичките с ванила се поставят на голяма метална везна, а въздухът мирише на сладка ванила толкова силно, че главата се замайва.
The neogothic on the island will surprise you with living African spirituality. Inside, you will hear masses in Malagasy and see stained glass with baobab trees.
Бързи факти: През над 24 цветни витража прониква мека светлина, която по каменните подове рисува шарки, променящи се с всеки час; неделната литургия тук се отслужва и на френски, и на малгашки. Неоготическа сграда от светъл туф стои на хълма над града, а от нейната 35-метрова кула виждате цялата метрополия.
Акценти: От 1989 г. храмът пази реликвата на блажена Виктоар Расоаманариво; нейният скромен гроб се намира до страничния олтар под скулптура от баобаб. По време на неделната литургия хорът а капела пее псалми на малгашки, а тонът на валихата прониква чак до прилежащите улички.
A football evening full of drums, smoke shows, and chants you will not hear on TV. Take a seat in the lively section and feel the euphoria at every home goal.
Бързи факти: Over 22,000 fans fit in the stands, and at big concerts a standing crowd joins them out on the pitch. The home national football team Baréa plays its matches here, and the stadium also hosts big concerts and political rallies.
Акценти: The south section holds the loudest bunch of fans, who drum and dance nonstop through the whole match. When the home team scores a goal, yellow smoke rises above the stands and the whole arena immediately sings the same chant.
A fountain in the middle of the lake plays with light in the evening, and a flock of birds fills the shores with life. An hour-long walk along the water will give you the most beautiful shots and a moment of true peace.
Бързи факти: По средата на водната повърхност стои триетажен фонтан от 1930 г., който след падането на мрак се осветля с цветни прожектори. Ято от няколко десетки патици и лебеди живе тук целогодишно и подплува до разхождащите се за трохи.
Акценти: Цветните отражения от триетажния фонтан вечерта се плъзят по водната повърхност, а в безветрена нощ падащите капки отразяват светлината от двореца като хиляди дребни монети. Наймалко хора ще намериш тук на разсъмване, кога пара лебеди има водата само за себе, а от градината се чува единствено хрустът на чакъл под крака.
A unique chance to stand face to face with a lemur in a natural forest and feed it from your hand. Friendly troops will run up to you, and the guide will tell the story of each one.
Бързи факти: На едва пет хектара гора тук живеят около 90 лемура, представляващи девет вида, от снежнобели сифаки до червени вари. Ботаническата зона се състои от над 400 ендемични растителни вида, а всеки посетител първо преминава кратко обучение, преди да влезе сред животните.
Акценти: Вместо клетки има открита гора, из която свободно прескачат над 90 индивида, а белите сифаки могат с равен скок да преодолеят пет метра точно над главата ти. Повечето от животните идват от ръцете на контрабандисти, затова водачите познават всеки лемур по име, история и любими лакомства.
The only showcase of young Malagasy art in the capital. You will see works you cannot buy anywhere else and talk with the artists themselves.
Бързи факти: Годишната посещаемост достига около 30 хиляди посетители, а по стените се сменят над 40 имена на мадагаскарски творци, от млади дебютанти до утвърдени майстори. Почти половината от изложените платна намират купувачи още преди официалното откриване на експозицията.
Акценти: Най-вълнуващи са вернисажите, по време на които художници рисуват на живо под звуците на валиха, традиционния мадагаскарски цитрусов инструмент. Няколкостотин гости наблюдават в една зала как платното преминава от празна подрамка до завършена картина в рамките на една вечер.

Tana totally surprised me. Cooler than I expected up here and market days were electric. Four days felt just right, food was cheap and the street music is constant.
Honestly a bit let down. Rain hit every afternoon and pousse-pousse drivers triple prices once they see a tourist. Next time I would fly straight to the parks.
Loved the energy but the traffic is chaos and the air gets rough. Still, sunset from the old Rova hill made the whole trip worth it.
Big tip: do all your eating at the brochette stalls a couple blocks off the main drag. Same zebu and rice for half what the cafes near the center charge.
Land with cash already broken up. Shopkeepers and cabbies never have change for a 20k note, and sort a Telma sim at the airport before leaving the arrivals hall.
