THINGS TO SEE
Looking for a place to relax for a little while? Then visit Lalbagh Fort. Its beautifully well maintained gardens are a perfect place to escape the fast pace of Old Dhaka. The half-completed fort began construction in 1677 under direction of Prince Mohammed Azam and was handed to Shaista Khan to be completed. However, it was never completed due a death in the family and which was considered a bad omen.
Home to more than 2000 animals, the Bangladesh National Zoo is a popular place for locals and tourists to spend the day.

The Star Mosque is decorated both inside and outside with beautiful mosaics, making it easy to see why it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Old Dhaka.

Non-Muslim visitors are welcome outside of prayer time and should dress appropriately.
