    • QUEENS PALACE burned out. The Queens Palace that dominates the Antananarivo skyline, built on top of the moment, was burned out a few years ago. Only the outer walls remain. Such a pity! It is usually named in the travel guides. You can still go and visit it.

    At Least Do This: There will be people outside the palace who will guide you for a fee. I didn't go inside as we were actually headed outside town to another palace.

    • Antananarivo does not exist anymore. Although you'll still find it mentioned in many guides. On Fridays a huge square would be filled with goods and people. It has been abolished recently because it became too dangerous. There are still stalls but even our Malagasy hosts would not take us there.

    At Least Do This: Be very careful to hide your valuables and wear no jewelry when in Antananarivo. You'll find many people jump at you for some money but they never harass you.

     Wow...I never knew that queen was a meanie!! Antananarivo looks nice! It looks so different from Amsterdam! It looks like San Francisco, a more exotic version! I don't think my mom will like this though! But I'll entice her one day!    		ArchitecturA Sat Jun 4, 2005 07:26 UTC
     I say! What a queen!
