New Market

Dhaka's New Market was Bangladesh's first attempt at creating a modern, family-friendly open-air shopping centre, and has been a central hub for all shopping in the city for over 70 years. You can pretty much find anything and everything here, and often bargain down the price, too.

Bashundhara City claims to be the 12th largest shopping centre in the world, and whether or not that is true, it certainly boasts and dizzying 2,000+ shops and restaurants, plus a cinema and a bowling alley. If you can't find what you're looking for here, then it likely can't be found.

Bongo Bazar

The Bongo Bazar is loud, chaotic and at times overwhelming, but that only adds to the experience. Vendors here sell the excess brand-name clothes that you would end up buying at expensive boutiques in America and Europe for a fraction of the price (if you're good at bargaining, that is).

PBS Bookshop

PBS is Bangladesh's largest bookstore, located in a modern and well-lit shop. They have a very good selection of English-language books, as well as music and DVDs, stationary and gift items. There is also a small cafe with free WiFi, making it the kind of place to linger and browse an afternoon away.

Aranya

Aranya is perhaps the best place to get high-quality traditional Bangladeshi clothing. Silk, cotton and other yarns are hand-dyed here and then woven and embroidered onto saris, ready-to-wears and other accessories. They take great pride in having revived two traditional garments: Jamdanis and Kanthas.
