Why visit Dhaka?
Dhaka is a fast-growing riverside metropolis where historic quarters, waterways, and creative energy meet. You will find lively streets, layered history, and a welcoming, human scale beneath the bustle.
What to expect
In Old Dhaka, narrow alleys, river piers, and fading palaces sit beside busy bazaars and ferries on the Buriganga River. Newer districts offer broader roads, lakeside promenades, and a growing cultural and business scene.
Plan your trip
Dhaka works well as both a standalone city break and a gateway to wider Bangladesh, including tea country, river landscapes, and heritage towns. Plan time in the city at the start or end of your journey to get a sense of the country, its stories, and its pace of life.
