Bangabhaban Palace

Address: Bangabhaban (Presidential Palace), Shahbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Website: http://www.bangabhaban.gov.bd/

Hours: Visits by prior arrangement; not regularly open for unscheduled public tours

Bangabhaban is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of Bangladesh, located in central Dhaka. It serves as the site for state ceremonies and official receptions.

The complex contains offices, reception rooms and formal gardens used for diplomatic events and national ceremonies. Public entry is limited, though the grounds are visible from surrounding streets and occasionally opened during official events.

The building dates to the colonial era and was repurposed after Bangladesh gained independence in 1971 to serve as the presidential residence. Over time the compound has been adapted to house administrative offices and facilities for state functions.

The site sits in central Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.

• Access: Public access to the interior is restricted; the compound is primarily used for state ceremonies and official receptions.
• Ceremonial functions: The complex includes formal gardens and ceremonial halls that are focal points during national events.

Bangabhaban (the presidential palace) sits in central Dhaka in the government/Secretariat area. It’s reached by car, taxi or ride‑hail from downtown Dhaka (Motijheel, Shahbagh and nearby districts); road access is via the main city streets in the central administrative district. Public transport in central Dhaka (buses, auto‑rickshaws) can drop you near the palace but access is by short walk from surrounding roads.

• Bangabhaban is the President of Bangladesh's official residence and is not open for casual public tours-plan only to view the building from public roads and nearby streets rather than expecting entry.
• If you require official access (for diplomatic or media purposes), contact the Presidential Protocol/Press Office well in advance to request permission and to learn about security procedures and ID requirements.
• Expect traffic restrictions and occasional ceremonial closures around the compound; combine a short perimeter visit with other nearby Dhaka attractions to avoid wasted travel during road closures or official events.
