Why visit Dhaka?
Dhaka is a vibrant metropolis where riverside life, historic quarters, and modern neighbourhoods come together. You will find busy streets, colourful markets, and a creative energy that makes the city feel lively and spontaneous at all hours.
What to expect
The city stretches along the Buriganga River, with Old Dhaka offering narrow lanes, heritage buildings, and waterside ghats, while newer districts feature wide avenues and high-rises. Traffic is busy, but cycle rickshaws, boats, and urban parks give you many ways to experience daily life up close.
Plan your trip
Dhaka is a natural starting point for exploring wider Bangladesh, from tea gardens in the northeast to riverine landscapes in the south. Plan time for both historic sights and relaxed walks by the water so you can appreciate the city before continuing your journey into the rest of the country.
