Why visit Dhaka?
Dhaka is a lively metropolis where historic neighbourhoods, busy waterways, and creative energy come together. You will find a city that is constantly on the move, yet full of small surprises in its lanes, riverside ghats, and old quarters.
What to expect
Expect a fast-paced urban experience, with rickshaws weaving through traffic, colourful street scenes, and atmospheric areas such as Old Dhaka near the Buriganga River. Modern districts offer wider roads, offices, and shopping, giving you a mix of old and new in a compact radius.
Plan your trip
Dhaka is an excellent starting point for exploring wider Bangladesh, from riverine towns to tea-growing hills. With good domestic connections by air, road, and river, you can use the capital as a base to discover the country’s landscapes and smaller cities.
