Lalbagh Fort, an incomplete 17th-century Mughal fortress, is a prominent historical site in Dhaka. The fort is generally accessible, though some areas may have limited mobility access. Exploring the fort solo is common and rewarding, allowing visitors to absorb the history and architecture at their own pace, but guided tours are available for more in-depth historical context. The site is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the cooler months (October to March) to avoid the intense heat and monsoon season. The entry fee is relatively low, making it an affordable destination. A typical visit lasts between 2 to 3 hours, offering ample time to explore the Diwan-i-Aam, Pari Bibi's Mausoleum, and the fort's mosque.
