Visit parliament building from the outside

After reaching the parliament building area you will visit from outside and walk a bit by the side walkway by the MP hostel area opposite Chandrima Uddan. We will get out of the car to visit the parliament building far from the north and south side this will take about 30 mins

Arrival at the main security post for permission to get inside the main building.

At the main security gate, which is about 80 meters away from the main entrance of the main building where our vehicle and number of people will be checked and will allow us to enter our car up to the entrance of the parliament building.

 

Entry to the Parliament building.

There will be a delegation team from the visit cell who will receive us from the entrance of the main building with a security team. Here at this point, our guide/academic will brief you in detail about the parliament building and its features. After this, we will enter the parliament building. [ Please read the note section on what you can’t carry inside the parliament building.]

Inspiration of modern architecture.

Visit the exclusive interior area of the National Assembly Building. Once you are inside the parliament building, it is time to discover the metaphor for placing the new democratic government at the heart of the building along with eight halls that are concentrically aligned around the impressive parliamentary chamber. The inlaid white marble used to fabricate the entire complex out of poured-in-place concrete is not only a modernist statement of power and presence but also more of a testament to the local materials and values.

Lunch Break

Although this parliament building tour takes only 2 hours, including outside and inside due to the traffic and time given by the parliament building authority, it is generally around lunchtime. That's why we invite our guests to taste lunch either in the parliament cafeteria (**condition applied) or in any decent Bangladeshi restaurant near the parliament building to taste authentic Bangladeshi cuisine.

As Bangladesh is a majority Muslim country and has a conservative attitude toward dress. In this regard, a modest dress is always welcomed. In the metropolitan cities western dress will not be any problem but in the rural area better to be a bit modestly dressed to receive respect from the locals.
