The best shopping in Chittagong isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Ethnological Museum and WWII War Cemetery are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Ship-breaking yards — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Bangladesh's main port city on the Bay of Bengal, a bustling trading hub with hilltop shrines, WWII cemeteries, and access to the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
