Old Dhaka and Lalbagh Fort

An unfinished 17th-century Mughal fort in the old city of Dhaka, with a mausoleum, mosque and gardens. Old Dhaka is a crowded maze of lanes, with the pink Ahsan Manzil palace, the Armenian church, and the Sadarghat river port, busy with boats.

Take a rowing boat on the Buriganga River. Rickshaws are the best way to get around.
