Dhaka → Dhanmondi: key facts

Getting from Dhaka Airport (DAC) to Dhanmondi takes about 20 min by car on an empty road (20–30 min in heavy traffic) over 19 km via Dhaka Elevated Expressway. Our private transfer costs €25 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €35 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the international arrivals concourse hall on the ground floor of Terminals 1 and 2, the public area you enter through exit gates 1 and 2 after the customs green channel, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Dhanmondi is a residential district in the south-west of central Dhaka, laid out around the long, narrow Dhanmondi Lake, with schools, clinics, cafes and a lively food scene. From the airport the drive is about 19 km: cars follow Airport Road or the tolled Dhaka Elevated Expressway south to Farmgate, then continue along Manik Mia Avenue past the National Parliament building in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar before turning onto Mirpur Road. The roads through Farmgate and along Mirpur Road are among the busiest in the city.

The lake and its shaded walking paths run through the middle of the district, with Rabindra Sarobar, an open-air stage, on its southern side. Dhanmondi's streets are numbered roads off Mirpur Road and Satmasjid Road, where many restaurants and shops are found. Lalmatia and Mohammadpur lie to the west, while New Market and the Dhaka College area are a short distance south-east. Most houses and guesthouses can be reached by car directly, though side roads are narrow and parking is limited.

Public transport: The airport's own transport page lists only a free air-conditioned shuttle bus, launched in July 2026, that runs from the terminal to Jashimuddin intersection, Airport Railway Station and Kawla, all close to the airport; there is no airport-listed direct public transport link to Dhanmondi, so the onward trip continues on city buses, trains or the metro from those stops.
