Dhaka Travel Guide
Bangladesh
Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh, with a population of 23,209,616. It is the country’s main urban centre and a major base for exploring Bangladesh.
Most international visitors arrive through Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, also known by its airport code, DAC. Dhaka is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach trips require travelling farther afield.
