Andafiavaratra Palace
Mejor época para visitar
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.
Consejos para el presupuesto
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.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Su nombre malgache significa literalmente "lugar donde reina el viento" y refleja bien su ubicación en una colina despejada. La última reina gobernante dejó en estas habitaciones su vestido de novia, guantes y fotografías que siguen allí hoy tal como los dejó.
Destacados: El mayor secreto son los álbumes personales con fotografías que el visitante puede hojear con sus propias manos, y una habitación ordenada como si la reina acabara de salir de ella. Desde el balcón contemplas las suaves colinas por las que la última soberana caminaba antes de que en 1896 las tropas francesas la enviaran al exilio.
Consejos de expertos
- 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.
