The cultural capital of the Betsileo highlands, its hilltop old town a maze of steep lanes, brick houses and church spires. The city anchors Madagascar's wine and tea country and is the starting point of the slow, scenic railway to the coast at Manakara. It also serves as the jumping-off point for Ranomafana and Andringitra.

The world is wide open.
