Queen's Palace

Beautiful palace and place to learn about Malagasy history. However it is a pity that they burned it some years ago so most of the place is renovated. Small museum inside about kings, queens, Madagascar and some nice items. Amazing view from top of Antananarivo as it is at the highest point of the city.

Good museum to visit. But it should allow visitors to take photos without flash.

Quite a nice view. And a 20000 entry fee for a short visit is fair enough. A short visit is plenty of time to walk around the recreation of the historic buildings. There are some interesting historic artifacts inside some but there's not much left of original architecture after the fire in 1995. You may find a tour guide helpful if you want a longer tour. Beware. No photos allowed inside buildings- dunno why they don't want people sharing the interesting stuff but whatever.

Be careful of non official tour guides! I can say that museum is one of the highlights of Antananarivo. It shows and gives you more closer picture about political situation in Madagascar. Photos from some reason are not allowed inside of museum. It is easy to visit as it is walking distance from downtown, but you have to go up hill. It was rebuild after the fire, so many things are replica. Entrance is 20 K for two hours visit. Watch out of non official tour guides as we got scammed at the end. We had a tour from 3-5 pm ( at the end of the opening hours) so it was not crowded. Our guide finished a tour in a back yard where his friend join us and they asked 50 euros for a tips. Friendly guide at the beginning of our visit turn out in very unpleasant guy. We gave him 30k (10k was to cover his ticket - locals have reduced price) and we managed to leave the site but we felt unsafe on our way back to hotel as we knew he had a another friend at the entrance of the gate which we met at the first place. Luckily we came to hotel without any issue but that incident left bitter taste of Antananarivo.

It was exceptional. I went in 2019 before the renovations, and it was alright. Now, since the renovations, it is SO much better. It's like a museum inside, and the guide was a huge help. Very knowledgeable, and the history of Madagascar really comes together. I recommend going with the two hour tour, because there's so much to see. It's too bad they don't let you take pictures inside, because there is some really beautiful stuff. Although, if we were allowed to take pictures, it would have taken 4 hours.lol

Nice place. The view is amazing. You have to hire a guide which is available at the door. Be careful of the sellers outside, their music instruments are more expensive than you get in pochard or antsirabe. The place is very interesting in knowing the history of Madagascar. After the tour, have a lunch at cafe du Musée. So nice

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this palace. It costed inr 360 rupees. The guide was too good with his explanation about the displays. The views are great as you can see. Worth visiting.

We went here to see some local histroy. Entrance is 20.000 for short stay, this is the best option because you can still see most things. But still, not much to see and not very special. There are guides in front of the entrance that try to catch you and also get a fee. They are not mandatory and I would not go for them. Not worth the visit.
