Areas near the main industrial and commercial zones offer the most practical access to hotels and transit, while the city sits close enough to Dhaka that many visitors treat it as an extension of the wider metropolitan area. Traffic can be heavy, so planning around peak hours helps.
Green spaces and rural surroundings on the city's outskirts offer a change of pace from its industrial character, best visited in the cooler morning hours. Nearby Dhaka's attractions are within reach for those with an extra day.
Buses and auto-rickshaws (CNG) are the most common ways to get around, with ride-hailing apps offering a more predictable alternative. Traffic congestion is common, so allowing extra time for trips is wise.
