The pink riverside palace of the Nawabs of Dhaka on the Buriganga, now a museum. Its rooms of furniture and portraits give a feel for 19th-century Dhaka.

A quiet 18th-century church in Armanitola, ringed by the graves of Armenian merchants — a breather in the middle of Old Dhaka's bustle.

A mosque in Armanitola whose walls are covered in star patterns made from broken china. It is small, but the detail rewards a slow look.

Snack
A crisp, layered flatbread baked in a clay oven — Old Dhaka's classic with morning tea. Around Lalbagh and Chawkbazar you can watch it being made in small shops.
Drink
A tangy, spiced yoghurt and mint drink that almost always comes with biryani and other rich meals in Dhaka.
Dish
Biryani where raw mutton and rice are slow-cooked together under a sealed lid, usually with potato. A long Old Dhaka tradition — go at lunchtime for the freshest pot.
