Andafiavaratra Palace
Bedste tid at besøge
The dry season from April to October guarantees a dry walk up to the hill and good visibility from the balcony. Late afternoon gives the interior its warmest light, when the sun's rays fall through the low windows.
Budgettips
Entry costs about 5,000 ariary (less than a euro) and is usually paid in cash, as there are no card terminals here. The price includes a personal tour from the caretaker, so don't buy any extra guide.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Dens malagasiske navn betyder bogstaveligt talt "sted, hvor vinden hersker" og afspejler godt beliggenheden på en udsat bakke. Den sidste regerende dronning efterlod i disse værelser en brudekjole, handsker og fotografier, som stadig ligger her i dag, præcis som hun efterlod dem.
Højdepunkter: Den største hemmelighed er de personlige fotoalbum, som besøgende kan bladre i med egne hænder, og et værelse, der er ryddet op, som om dronningen lige er gået ud af det. Fra altanen kigger du ud over de blide bakker, som den sidste herskerinde gik på, før franske tropper i 1896 sendte hende i eksil.
Insidertips
- Ask the caretaker to show you the old photo album, it's the most interesting part of the visit.
- You'll take the best photos from the garden, where you can see the terracotta roof and the hills stretching into the distance.
- Wear comfortable shoes, because a sandy uphill path leads to the entrance.
- On a weekday morning you'll have the interior practically to yourself, just come at opening time.
