The 10 best churches in Antananarivo

The best moment to go their is when the jacaranda trees are blooming. Unfortunately i don’t have great pictures of them.

Nice lake to walk around. A bit dirty but not excessively.

Independence Day lights and fireworks

Nice place for chill

I loike to move it move it

(Translated by Google) The lake unfortunately looks quite polluted, the color of the water says it all, unfortunately the government of Madagascar does nothing to heal the capital of Antananarivo, it is full of garbage and I did not see anything that could change things, a shame that there is so much pollution. (Original) El lago desgraciadamente se ve bastante contaminado, el color del agua lo dice todo, desgraciadamente el gobierno de Madagascar no hace nada para sanar la capital de Antananarivo , esta llena de basura y no vi nada que pueda cambiar las cosas, una pena que haya tanta contaminación.

(Translated by Google) There is this artificial lake in the south of Antananarivo. Its surroundings are not very encouraging, but the lake and the monument in it, which commemorates the people of Madagascar who fought alongside the French in the First World War, are a pleasant sight. The place is worth a short walk. (Original) Antananarivo déli részén van ez a mesterséges tó. A környezete nem túl bizalomgerjesztő, de a tó és a benne lévő emlékmű, mely az első világháborúban a franciák mellett harcoló madagaszkári embereknek állít emléket, kellemes látvány. Egy rövid sétát megér a hely.

This place is a trap. Scam guides in front of the building. Don't go! The building is nice from the outside, just go for a quick look if you really want to see it.

Don't mistake this palace with the restored Queen's Palace further uphill. This place is a total rip-off, with nothing inside. It's just a messy, empty hull with a few placards on Madagascar's independence that you can read about online.

Interesting place. We were talked into using a guide but we found it really wasn't necessary. Enough signs to tell a story. Worth the visit.

Really cool Malagasy building with informative displays and knowledgeable guide. 40,000 to get in. They said you need an official guide. He will look for a tip and a chance to guide you around the other palace past the post office up the hill. I used another guide for that to spread the tip money around.

Very few artifacts on display inside a couple of small room, really not much to see, not well preserved, no organization. As soon as you arrive, there are a lot of local "tour guides" who are not actually licensed guides who swarm up to the car who then try to coerce money out of you however they can. They'll keep telling you that they need to split the money between them and they need to save the money, wants euros or US dollars instead of the local currency (ariary) so they can get more, and it's not easy to leave until you pay them A LOT more than what they should guide (based on what the hotel and local driver told me). The driver was scared to tell me that they were asking for too much since these fake local "guided" would get mad at him later. The whole country is full of people who try to trick, beg, or coerce money out of you. Beware. I won't be going back and will let my friends/family know not to visit. The lemurs are not worth with dealing with the humans there.

Well, the place has been restored and it's great to see it in real... Actually, it's like the palaces we see in movies... :-) and it's would be awesome to visit the rooms upstairs but it's not yet possible for now

The Palace interior was being renovated when I was there. There are a limited number of exhibits but they are made fascinating if you have the right guide. My guide was "Tahina" who expertly explained the artifacts in excellent english (he speaks 5 languages). The weirdest exhibit was a small diorama of monkeys dressed in victorian guide at a party to represent the Malagasy people. It was presented by Napoleon to the Malagasy people as some sort of joke but they kept it all this time. You are asked to give the guide something after the tour. I asked my guide if he could help arrange a car and driver. He ended being my guide on a 12 day trip through southern Madagascar and did a great job. Ask for Tahina as your guide. I had a different guide at the Queen's Palace and he wasn't half as good.

Lots of stairs but you don't go to church for that 😊

A church with a beautiful interior, located in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar.

For me is the first cathedral with the arcades in timber. It is on the path of every touristic visit of Tana. There are even some saints relics exposed inside

Was closed, only a lot of begging people around but a nice view from the top.

I believe this is the largest cathedral in the city. It's a very beautiful structure and the interior was nice. I did not manage to inside the cathedral as there was a wedding ceremony ongoing. Looking from outside it did look well maintained. There's a very large statue of Mary but to get a good shot you'll need to get it from the bottom of the stairs leading up to the church. The neighborhood seems safe to walk about. It's on the way to the Rova Palace.

Nice stained glass. Good respite from the tumult of Antsirabe

As a staunch catholic Christian, this was a climax of my trip...visiting the cathedral of Antananarivo. Most especially was the visit to the tomb of an African saint...Blessed Victoire. I was able to pray in the cathedral, though wasnt fortunate to attend Holy Mass.

Nice small Cathedral in Antananarivo, Capital of Madagascar.
