The pandemic-era restrictions are almost gone. Dhaka’s culture, tradition, food, monuments and hospitality can be explored at this time. This is a brief guide to immerse oneself in the charm of this bustling metropolis.
1. Ruins of Panam Nagar in Sonargaon
The city of Panam Nagar is located at a gap of just 3 hours from Dhaka. This remarkable archaeological site can take you on a nostalgic journey through time. Once a busy city, this area has turned into an empty place today.
During the exploration, be sure to check out the abandoned Goaldi Mosque.
2. Dhaka University
Spend an entire day exploring Dhaka University, the oldest university in Bangladesh. Dating back to 1921, this place holds a deep position in the country’s independence movement. Its historic 24ha campus used to be called the ‘Oxford of the East’.
From the grand Central Library to Curzon Hall, Dhaka University holds a lot of importance in terms of culture and architecture. Pick up some street food from around the campus if you get hungry during the rigorous exploration.

Puran Dhaka or Old Dhaka is extremely famous for offering some of the best Bangladeshi food in the entire capital. You can spend the complete day exploring this place and trying out different delicacies sold at affordable prices.
Beauty Lassi on Johnson Road is a really fascinating establishment serving delicious tangy yoghurt lassi and lemonade. This place also has a lot of history. For the afternoon and dinner time, you can try out bakarkhani and fall-off-the-bone biriyani.
4. Local fish search
Residents of Dhaka love midnight fish feasts. You can drive along Padma Bridge and ultimately reach a vast ferry terminal. It is really popular among fans of ilish, a national seafood delicacy. You can get the fish cooked in any style you like.
