Why visit Dhaka?
Dhaka is a lively megacity where historic quarters, bustling waterways, and contemporary neighbourhoods meet. You will find busy streets, colourful rickshaws, and a constant sense of movement that gives the city its distinctive character.
What to expect
Expect energetic markets, heritage buildings, and a fast-paced rhythm shaped by commerce and culture. Old Dhaka offers narrow lanes and historic architecture, while newer areas such as Gulshan and Banani feature modern cafés, hotels, and green pockets around the lakes.
