About Dhaka

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh on the Buriganga River, is a dense, restless city of Mughal-era monuments, rickshaws and a busy river port.

Dhaka grew from a Mughal provincial capital on the Buriganga River into one of the most densely populated cities on earth. Old Dhaka holds most of the history: Lalbagh Fort, begun in 1678 and never finished, the pink Ahsan Manzil palace beside the river, and the Star Mosque with its mosaic of china tiles. The narrow lanes around them are filled with workshops and traders.

Top-ranked sights in Dhaka: Sadarghat Port, Star Mosque (Tara Masjid), Armenian Church.
