La ciudad antigua del siglo XVII fue la capital mogol de Bengala, y quedan muchos palacios y mezquitas.

Itinerario
Curzon Hall es un sorprendente monumento de ladrillo de principios del siglo XX ubicado en Shahbagh, dentro del campus de la Universidad de Dhaka. Originalmente encargado como ayuntamiento, su primera piedra fue colocada por Lord Curzon en 1904 y el edificio se completó en 1908. Desde 1921 la sala alberga la Facultad de Ciencias. Su arquitectura indo-sarracena muestra una elegante fusión de estilos mogol y europeo, con cúpulas, arcos de herradura y cuspide, torretas ornamentadas, aleros profundos y encantadoras terrazas. Más allá de su papel académico, Curzon Hall jugó un papel fundamental en la historia de Bangladesh: fue un centro de protesta durante el Movimiento del Idioma Bengalí (1948-1956), donde los estudiantes condenaron los intentos de imponer el urdu como único idioma estatal. Rodeado de verdes jardines, un jardín botánico, campos de juego y un estanque histórico, Curzon Hall ofrece un entorno tranquilo y pintoresco en medio del bullicioso campus.
El Shaheed Minar (Monumento a los Mártires) en Daca es un poderoso símbolo nacional que honra a quienes perdieron la vida durante el Movimiento del Idioma Bengalí en febrero de 1952. En esos días, estudiantes y activistas de la Universidad de Dhaka y de la Facultad de Medicina de Dhaka fueron baleados mientras exigían pacíficamente que el bengalí fuera reconocido como lengua estatal. El monumento actual, de unos 14 metros de altura, presenta altas columnas de mármol dispuestas en semicírculo, que simbolizan a una madre en duelo con sus hijos caídos, con un llamativo disco solar rojo detrás. Las escaleras y barandillas blancas le dan un aspecto solemne, casi divino, mientras que versos de poesía inscritos en letras de hierro adornan las vallas. En el interior, suelos de mármol y un gran panel mural en el sótano narran la historia del movimiento.
Lalbagh Fort es un complejo incompleto de fortaleza mogol del siglo XVII que se encuentra frente al río Buriganga en la parte suroeste de Dhaka, Bangladesh. La construcción se inició en 1678 dC por Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah, hijo del emperador Aurangzeb y más tarde emperador mismo. Wikipedia * Tenga en cuenta: está cerrado los domingos

Very fun and exciting tour. Trust me, you cannot do this on your own! We visited all the spots listed in the itinerary and then some! Shahadat knows so much about the history of each place, knows how to he you in and knows how to take a good photo.

We really only visited two of the sights; the other ones we saw only from the outside and after it got dark. I think it's probably impossible to do this tour in half a day and the guide, although well intentioned, couldn't manage the time adequately in a city with Dhaka's traffic.
Thank you very much for your honest feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience. We sincerely regret that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. You are absolutely right that Dhaka’s traffic can be highly unpredictable sometimes, and managing multiple sites within a half-day schedule can sometimes be challenging. That said, we understand your disappointment in not being able to explore all locations properly in daylight. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more fulfilling experience next time.
I booked the tour last minutes, however, everything was organized and planned well, on time pick up，my guide Shahadat is accommodating and explain the places well. I’ve learned the history of Bangladesh along this tour, would recommend if you have one day to spare in Dhaka.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that, even with a last-minute booking, everything was well organized and the pickup was on time. It’s great to know that my explanations helped you learn more about the history of Bangladesh and made the most of your day in Dhaka. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience!
Our tour was initially postponed by one hour and suddenly canceled 15 minutes before the start. We checked with our hotel concierge, and some places on the list were closed and shouldn’t be even proposed. This was a huge disappointment.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced. Due to receiving the booking at the last moment, we faced scheduling challenges. We did our best to operate the tour; however, it was canceled for unavoidable reasons. As previously discussed, we have issued a full refund.
