Hatirjheel
Hatirjheel
Dhaka's lake-and-bridges loop: wide walkways, curving overpasses, water taxis gliding between the banks and the amphitheatre where runs, concerts and festivals happen. After sunset the bridges light up and the whole place turns into one long evening walk.
Insider tips
Come around sunset, walk a stretch of the loop, then take a water taxi back across. Weekend evenings get crowded — weekdays are calmer. Street food stalls cluster near the amphitheatre.
