About Dhaka
Dhaka is an enormous city, and it shows. It is crowded and always on the move, but that also makes it a dynamic and entertaining place to be. The city streets are a constant flow of traffic and rickshaws, and there is something new to diskover at every turn. Most of the city's historical monuments and points of interest can be found in the area of Old Dhaka, such as the Lalbagh Fort and the stunning Pink Palace. It is also an area of great spiritual importance, gathering the Hindu Dhakeshwari Temple, the Orthodox Armenian Church, and the Tara Mosque, among others. The city's more modern side can be found in Gulshan, a more affluent neighborhood where you can find large upscale shopping centers and international restaurants, mixing more tranquil residential areas with commercial buildings and businesses (similar to neighboring Banani).
