Ambohimanga

I recommend a visit here to the country palace of the Marina king. It is a haven of peace outside of Tana. The buildings are interesting and they hold some artifacts and furnishings. The guide tells interesting history. There are also tombs of king and queens. The end gives you a fantastic view of the countryside. It was well worth the trip.

Considered one of the country’s most sacred spots by the Malagasy people for 500 years, the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga is a historical village that was once home to Madagascar royalty. The wall that surrounds the village was made in 1847 and was constructed with a mortar made of lime and egg whites. The Mahandrihono compound includes the former home of King Andrianampoinimerina, with walls made of solid rosewood, and artifacts of the island’s great king, including drums, weapons and talismans.

Very good place to visit. The guide was very friendly and explained well. I recommend this place

Great history and views of the city. The Queen's area is really special - items are still in decent condition. Didn't like the "pay whatever you want based on your satisfaction" to the guide. I prefer having at least a suggested price.

Amazing palace not to be missed , the way there also has great landscape , we had a very sweet lady guide from there whose name i had forgotten who made our tour very entertaining :)
