Description

Trip to National Parliament Building is an unforgettable journey through an architectural marvel and its striking design. The National Parliament Building, or Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, was designed by the world-renowned American architect Louis Kahn. This is the most notable modern building in Bangladesh and is well regarded by many as the finest work of Kahn. Although the typical bold geometrical patterns are distinctive from the outside, visiting the interior, including the octagonal Assembly Hall, is a special treat.

Access to the National Assembly is very restricted. We arrange exclusive tours inside the famous Parliament building with a minimum of 10 working days prior notice. Usually, a visit to the parliament takes about an hour or less. It is also possible to arrange long-term visit permission for architects or someone with a special interest in this building. Any foreign and local nationals must obtain permission through a specific application form, which you will receive from us or the parliament’s official website. Visitors should fill out and send us the signed application form and a copy of their passport and visa.

All visitors are advised to avail of a visa from their home country and attach the visa information to the parliament visit application form. Any visitor planning for a visa on arrival and willing to visit the parliament within a few working days of their arrival may not be assured a visit due to incomplete information on the prior application.

The parliament is open for visitors from Sunday to Thursday and closed on Friday, Saturday, and other government holidays.

Please note that we are not allowed to carry electronic devices, firearms, books, bags, or any drinks other than water inside the parliament building. We can leave all our belongings and cameras in the vehicle right before the parliament house’s main entrance/security check post, and you can take photographs after coming back from inside the building.
