Best of Dhaka District

ঢাকা জেলা Essentials

Dhaka District serves as the historical and cultural nucleus of Bangladesh. The landscape ranges from the 17th-century Mughal architecture of Lalbagh Fort and the ornate Ahsan Manzil 'Pink Palace' to Louis Kahn’s modernist National Parliament House. Spiritual landmarks include the national Dhakeshwari Temple and the Star Mosque, while the Central Shaheed Minar and National Martyrs' Memorial honor the nation's struggle for identity. Visitors can navigate the busy Buriganga River at Sadarghat, explore the extensive collections of the National Museum, or visit Bashundhara City, one of South Asia's largest shopping malls.
