Why visit Dhaka?
Dhaka is a vibrant megacity where rickshaws, river boats, and modern towers share the same skyline. You can expect a city full of colour, energy, and everyday stories, from the historic riverfront to buzzing new business districts.
What to expect
The city is known for its busy streets, textile markets, and rapidly growing urban neighbourhoods. Old Dhaka offers narrow lanes and historic architecture, while areas such as Gulshan and Banani feel more open and contemporary, with cafés, parks, and lakeside promenades.
Plan your trip
Dhaka is an ideal starting point for exploring Bangladesh, whether you head to river landscapes, tea estates, or coastal regions. With good domestic links and a growing hospitality scene, you can use the capital as your base before venturing into the country’s quieter corners.
