Visit Lalbagh Fort
Exchange Staten Island’s Fort Wadsworth for Lalbagh Fort when you fly from New York to Dhaka.
Construction on the glorious Mughal structure began in the late 17th century but was never completed. Now, Lalbagh Fort’s landscaped gardens and tiny onsite art museum offer a calm oasis away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Dhaka.
Sail along the Buriganga
New York may be the city that never sleeps, but Dhaka’s Buriganga is the river that never sleeps.
