After about 7.5 hours, arrive in this colorful highland town, known as “The City of Water” for its hot springs. Explore the town's highlights by rickshaw, Madagascar's iconic mode of transport. In the city centre, visit the Fahaleovantena Tribes Monument, a symbol of independence that displays the first two bars of Madagascar's national anthem. Continue to the historic Gare d’Antsirabe, a colonial-era train station built in 1923. Although no longer in use, its striking architecture remains a landmark that attracts many visitors.
