OVERVIEW

Chattogram is a major port city in south-eastern Bangladesh, built between forested hills and the Bay of Bengal. Shipping, industry and markets dominate the lower urban areas, while residential neighbourhoods spread over ridges. A broad river and extensive docks underline the city’s importance to national trade, and the surrounding green hills give parts of the metropolis an unexpectedly varied setting.

Markets, mosques and street food reveal everyday life more clearly than formal monuments. Hilltop viewpoints and nearby beaches offer relief from dense traffic, while the city also serves as a gateway to the southeastern hills and coast. Congestion and industrial development are significant, so movement requires patience and local planning.
