Top 4 Reasons You’ll Love Visiting Bashundhara City
Modern Architect
The world’s 12th biggest Bashundhara City shopping mall will first attract you with its aesthetic and modern architect. In one word, it’s ‘Beautiful’. I love the dome of this mall, every time I visit here; I don’t forget to look over the top of the roof from the downstairs. It looks just amazing and takes me in a different world, where I imagine, here I’m all alone and no one around me. To me, it’s a cool photography zone too 🙂

Yummy Food and Fun
Good food, lots of fun and entertainment. Come and get all in one place. What I found, most visitors visit for fun and so the main attraction is the top floor (Level 8). Here the Food Court is very popular for every aged person. It’s a wi-fi zone too. From local food (Deshi) to Indian, Thai, and Chinese, items are available here. However, different snacks and fast food are fave choices for most, and I recently tried the seafood for the first time and liked. Food costs are too high for some items.
