About
From Lalbagh Fort and Ahsan Manzil to Sadarghat river life and Gulshan dining — Dhaka is chaos, craft and history in one dense city.
Dhaka rewards travellers who lean into its intensity. Old Dhaka packs Mughal-era Lalbagh Fort, the pink Ahsan Manzil palace museum, Star Mosque tiles and labyrinthine lanes of Shankhari Bazaar. At Sadarghat, the Buriganga still moves people and goods on wooden launches.
Newer Dhaka offers museums, art spaces, Gulshan–Banani dining and the National Parliament complex designed by Louis Kahn. Day trips reach Sonargaon's folk museum and Panam Nagar ruins, or the riverine landscapes toward Munshiganj.
Traffic defines the day — start heritage walks early. Winter (November–February) is the most comfortable season for outdoor sightseeing.
