Attractions

Not at the moment. Admission tickets are not on sale through bookingMentor yet, so pay at the entrance or book through the attraction's official website, which almost every guide links to. Each guide shows the current entry fee and where it comes from. Guided day trips to many of these sights can already be booked on the tours pages.

For a few, yes, and their guides carry advance-booking advice. The Eiffel Tower is the clearest case: tickets open on the official site about 60 days ahead and popular times sell out. For most places in Bangladesh you simply pay on arrival.

France has the largest share, followed by Qatar, and Thailand, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, China and Malaysia are well covered too. You can browse them all on the attraction search.

All of them appear in the cards on this page. Dhaka district has the most, and several more are within a day trip of the capital. The others are in the Khulna division, the north and north-east, and the hills and coast of the south-east. The attraction search lists them alongside the guides for other countries.

Roughly half of them. In Bangladesh nearly half the places are free to enter, mostly open-air ones such as beaches, river ghats, hill viewpoints and wetlands, though boats, jeeps and guides there are paid locally. The entry fee section of each guide says whether there is a charge.

Every guide has a what-to-wear note. For religious sites it usually means modest clothing. At mosques in Bangladesh that means clothing that covers shoulders and legs, with a head covering for women inside.

Yes. The guided day trips shown on this page include transport and a guide, from walks in Old Dhaka to boat days on the rivers and in the mangrove forest. There is also a guided day in Bagerhat's mosque city, and for a longer visit one of the trips above is a three-day boat journey through the mangroves.

They are taken from the attraction's own website or the government body that runs it, and the guide names the source and year. Fees do change, sometimes without notice, so check at the ticket counter or on the official site before you go.

In the visiting hours section of each guide. Most guides list the hours for every day of the week, with last entry and closing dates where they are published. Some sites close one day a week and open only for part of another, so check the hours before you set out.

Each guide gives a typical visit length. In Bangladesh it ranges from 30 minutes at a temple to half a day at the flower-growing villages outside Dhaka, while the hill country is best given one or two nights.

Each guide has a getting-there section with road and public transport options. If you would rather not deal with buses and ferries, hire a car with a driver through Car Hire; companies in Dhaka and Chattogram take day and multi-day bookings.
