The Postal Museum in Dhaka is a museum devoted to the postal history of the country, a small attraction that fits naturally into a day spent among the older quarters of the city. Visitors come for the collections and the glimpse they give of how mail, stamps and communications developed here. Dhaka itself rewards that kind of curiosity: Old Dhaka, along the Buriganga River, holds the Mughal-era Lalbagh Fort, the 17th-century Ahsan Manzil palace and the Armenian Church, set among the bazaars of Sadarghat and Chawkbazar, while the modern districts of Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara host embassies, corporate offices and international hotels. Between the two, the city keeps a calendar of festivals, from Mangal Shobhajatra during Pahela Baishakh to weddings and cultural events. Dhaka is also a major gateway to Bangladesh, with Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport connecting to destinations across Asia and the Middle East, so a visit to the Postal Museum can sit easily within a longer trip.
