Lalbagh Fort
Best time to visit
The best time to arrive is early in the morning (8-10 a.m.) when there are not many people and it is not too hot yet. The winter months (November-February) are the most pleasant due to the cooler weather.
Budget tips
An entrance ticket for locals costs only 20 taka (about 0.20 EUR), for foreigners 200 taka (about 2 EUR). The cheapest option is to visit independently, as tour guides often charge much more.

About
Quick facts: Construction of this three-story mausoleum began in 1678, but after a year, war with Assyrian tribes forced Prince Azam to leave, and the construction was never completed. In one room, unremoved scaffolding still stands; it has been there for more than 340 years.
Highlights: A mysterious tunnel lies hidden underground, leading to the nearby river. It is said that royal family members used it for escape. In the mosque at the center, you can still see original 17th-century bricks engraved with the date 1084 according to the Islamic calendar.
