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.
Költségvetési tippek
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.

Ról ről
Gyors tények: 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.
Főbb látnivalók: 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.
Bennfentes tippek
- 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.
