Book Flights to Dhaka

Uncover historic architecture

Dhaka’s skyline is awash with eye-catching buildings. You can marvel at the minarets of resplendent mosques – but check before you visit, as some religious sites can only be accessed for worship.

Vibrant Hindu temples also grace the skyline, including the 12^th century Dhakeshwari National Temple. When visiting any religious site, remember to be respectful and dress modestly, covering your arms, legs and head. There are also forts and palaces, including Ahsan Manzil – a former palace of the Nawab Family that’s painted bright pink. It is now home to a fascinating museum.

Incredible rivers and lakes

Buriganga River is the soul of Old Dhaka. There’s a constant hum of activity from passenger ferries, fishing boats and cargo. Stroll down to Sadarghat to hire a boat and discover this river’s major sights. In the wet season, you might see a traditional Nouka Baich boat race on the water – always a competitive and fun watch.
