Antananarivo stretches, sprawling, beyond multiple hills. If "Tana" is not a destination in itself for most travellers, it can seduce those who take the time to discover it. Because the "City of Thousand Warriors" has changed well in recent years: new roads, new hotels, not to mention a plethora of fine restaurants, bars, cultural centres and improbable panoramas on the rice fields in the middle of the city. The surrounding area offers all kinds of excursions in harmony with traditional rural life. Several days have passed quickly, if there is a disregard for sometimes destabilizing urban chaos.City of altitude (it stands between 1 240 and 1 470 m), capital with a human dimension (few skyscrapers, many houses to one or two storeys among which dominate the magnificent brick constructions of the highlands), secret quoted (lanes, terraces, stairs, stands), Antananarivo is a metropolis all in relief. The tourist who arrives in the West will probably be struck by the indecent poverty, the incredible chaos that reigns in the streets (peak hours, car driving falls under great art), or by pollution (especially in the narrow narrow streets of the centre)… But this city is discovering only through walks, by strolling among the vestiges of the past: colonnades buildings, woodwork, verandas abound everywhere… Colonial architecture gives the city a little old charm.
