Many nationalities can get a short-stay visa on arrival at Ivato airport, but rules change. Check before you travel and carry the required fee. - Is Antananarivo safe? Petty theft in crowds and markets is the main risk. Keep valuables out of sight, use taxis at night and avoid displaying phones and cameras in busy areas. - How do I get around the city? On foot for the central hills, by negotiated taxi for longer trips, and by taxi-be minibus if you want the local experience. - When is the best time to visit? The cooler, drier months from May to October. The highlands can be genuinely cold at night in winter, and the summer rains can disrupt travel. ## Pages ## Citation Independent affiliate visitor guide.
