Questions
How far is Antananarivo from the sea?
Antananarivo is inland, 158 km (98 miles) from the nearest coastline in a straight line. The nearest stretch of coast is in Atsinanana, Madagascar.
Is that the driving distance?
No. 158 km (98 miles) is the straight-line distance from the city centre to the nearest point on the shore. The drive to a beach is longer, often much longer, and depends on the roads.
How far is Antananarivo from the nearest border?
Madagascar has no land border with another country, so the nearest foreign territory is across the sea.
Where in Antananarivo is this measured from?
From the city's centre point (18.9137° S, 47.5361° E). A large city spreads out, so some neighbourhoods are closer to the sea than this and some farther. For an exact figure from where you are, use your own location.
