Cities of interest in Madagascar
| Antananarivo | |
|---|---|
Antananarivo is the capital of Madagascar, located in the central highlands and enjoying a pleasant climate. Known as 'Tana' to the locals, the city is built around Anosy Lake. Attractions include the Queen's Palace, offering amazing views of the city, and the Tsimbazaza botanical gardens and zoo, which houses many species of lemur. | |
| Antsirabe | |
|---|---|
 The town of Antsirabe is located in the highlands south of the capital Antananarivo and its cool climate made it a popular location for European missionaries. Today this colonial influence is still strongly felt in the architecture and churches of the town. The town is known for its gemstones and handicrafts produced in artisan workshops while the 'pousse-pousse' or rickshaw is seen all over town. West of Antsirabe are the beautiful volcanic lakes Lac Andraikiba and Lac Tritriva. | |
