The bustling heart of Kathmandu, Durbar Square is a great place where you can easily spend hours for a stroll, sit down at one of the temples, and watch Nepalis go around their life.
Even though I had heard that there was an entrance fee to Durbar Square, I did not realize this was really the case until I approached from Pyaphal Tole. For non-Nepalis, the entrance fee needs to be paid at a booth on the street, which gives you access for the rest of the day. I then expected to enter a well-preserved square with free access to the temples and palace, but this was not the case. Much worse: you have to share the square with a lot of traffic coming from all sides; if you are not careful, you might be hit by one of the many vehicles crossing the square. Temples are under reconstruction, and I can well imagine that the fumes of traffic do a lot of harm. It is amazing that Durbar Square is not traffic-free; after all, it is a World Heritage Site, for which foreigners pay entrance fee.
