Why visit Dhaka?
Dhaka is a dynamic megacity where historic quarters, riverfront life, and a fast-growing modern skyline sit side by side. You will find colourful streets, bustling rickshaws, and a welcoming atmosphere that offers an authentic taste of everyday Bangladesh.
What to expect
The city is dense and energetic, centred around areas such as Old Dhaka, Motijheel, and Gulshan. You can explore grand architecture, walk along the Buriganga River, or discover calmer residential and lakeside districts that reveal a more relaxed side of the capital.
Plan your trip
Dhaka is an excellent base for exploring wider Bangladesh, with road, river, and air links to Cox's Bazar, Sylhet, and the Sundarbans region. Plan time for both the city and day trips, and use the capital as your starting point to experience the country’s diverse landscapes.
